Unscramble THIRD
THIRD is itself a valid word in both Scrabble and Words With Friends, worth 9 points and 8 respectively on plain squares. Rearranged and shortened, the same 5 letters make 11 words in total, from 5 letters down to two. No other word uses all 5 letters, which makes it a safe rack to hold. The highest scoring option is THIRD at 9 points in Scrabble. Next after the second; coming after two others; -- the ordinal of three; as, the thirdhour in the day. "The third night."
