What is the highest score you can get with these opening racks ?

All the highest scoring moves contain a V.

Don’t forget where the double-letter square is for the first move, and that playing all 7 tiles will accrue a 50 point bonus.

Good luck!

Some extra hints, as the puzzle elves are feeling generous...

1. The total across 10 racks is 384 points, so aim for at least 300, 350 is very good, 375+ is excellent.

2. Two of the words have unusual start letters, one has an unusual end letter.

3. All words are in fairly-everyday English.
