Unscramble UNCUT
UNCUT is itself a valid word in both Scrabble and Words With Friends, worth 7 points and 11 respectively on plain squares. Rearranged and shortened, the same 5 letters make 8 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 UNCUT at 7 points in Scrabble. Not cut; not separated or divided by cutting or otherwise; -- said especially of books, periodicals, and the like, when the leaves have not been separated by trimming in binding.
