Unscramble NUMB
NUMB is itself a valid word in both Scrabble and Words With Friends, worth 8 points and 12 respectively on plain squares. Rearranged and shortened, the same 4 letters make 9 words in total, from 4 letters down to two. No other word uses all 4 letters, which makes it a safe rack to hold. The highest scoring option is NUMB at 8 points in Scrabble. Enfeebled in, or destitute of, the power of sensation and motion; rendered torpid; benumbed; insensible; as, the fingers or limbs are numb with cold. "A stony image, cold and numb."
