Do you know what the best possible opening rack in Scrabble is?
M U Z J I K S
It forms MUZJIKS, an old word meaning Russian peasants.
Place the Z on a double-letter square while the word crosses the centre star:
- Letter score: 29
- Double-letter bonus on Z: +10
- Double-word centre square: total becomes 78
- Seven-letter “bingo” bonus: +50
- Total: 128 points
This is the highest-scoring possible opening move under the Collins Scrabble word list used in the UK.
