Unscramble SOY
SOY is itself a valid word in both Scrabble and Words With Friends, worth 6 points and 5 respectively on plain squares. Rearranged and shortened, the same 3 letters make 5 words in total, from 3 letters down to two. No other word uses all 3 letters, which makes it a safe rack to hold. The highest scoring option is SOY at 6 points in Scrabble. A Chinese and Japanese liquid sauce for fish, etc., made by subjecting boiled beans (esp. soja beans), or beans and meal, to long fermentation and then long digestion in salt and water.
