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.

Imagine you turn over your first tile…it’s a blank. You think you will have a bonus word on your first rack. Your heart sinks when the remaining 6 tiles are rubbish! But what if you look closely….
Listed below are 26 racks, each containing a blank. Each rack makes just one bonus word – can you find them all ?
As an extra clue, the blank represents a different letter of the alphabet for each different rack. (ie. Only use the blank as an A once, a B once etc..). The blanks are not in alphabetical order though!
Hint to solving…
Most of the words are everyday English, none are obscure Scrabble words.Give each rack a few moments. Don’t worry if you can’t solve it straightaway. Once you have found a few, then think about where the vowels might go, and then the JQXZ. Make note of which letters you’ve used…and then try the remaining letters against the remaining racks.
