In scrabble, what and where is the highest scoring 4 letter word?

Question

What is the word and where should you put it to get maximum points?

How many points does it get you?

Answer 1

probably Quiz, Quid, Quam, Zane, Xray....

Answer 2

Make the word "QUIZ" in the corner of the scrabble board.

Answer 3

it depends what word it is and where abouts on the board you play it. there are some squares on the board that 5x your word score..

another way to get a high 4 letter word is if you have simpsons scrabble... there is a card you can play that says you can play any 4 letters in a word formation but have to give a description... use the top socring tiles and in the place you can double your score and things. its not so hard to think of a describtion... say something like an extremly old ape thats eats ashtrays... let your imagination run wild!

Answer 4

I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say "quiz" using a triple-word score, which can be found in all four corners and all four outer-middle areas. (It's the one that's red.)

That would get you 66 points.

Answer 5

The word is QUIZ. In any of the corners. You get a triple word score AND and a double letter score. You double the letter first, then triple word. So it would look like this:

3(10+1+1+2(10))=96
