Rearranged and shortened, the same 4 letters make 10 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 TERM at 6 points in Scrabble. That which limits the extent of anything; limit; extremity; bound; boundary.
