What??!!! A 55 point word!!

[lalatan]

Woohoo!!! Didn't think it would ever happen.

Congratulations on a great find, lalatan!
I guess it's time to reassess what is possible, since this was unexpected.
Spike1007 refreshed me on special letters and mentioned can have one of each add to score
(1 for J & K, 2 for X, 3 for Z, and 4 for Q).
So if there some word that had at least one of each, could have up to 11 extra points on top of 2*25=50 for 25 letter ultra rare word.
That seems to indicate 61 max points limit.
If there's one higher scorer, maybe there's another that gets even closer to the limit.

For example, This word has X,Z,Q and is singular with 24 letters: 48+2+3+4=55
So its plural might still be out there to be discovered, for 57 points.

Congratulations lalatan! I had given up on those.

[Spike1007]

Only 24 letters (if I can count). The plural would be 57 points.

[BoggleOtaku]

Hah! I just posted that too!
Here are two better, if they exist in boards, at 60 points each (needs check, though):

ALKOXYBENZYLOXYQUINONOIDS
BENZYLOXYALKOXYQUINONOIDS

That would be cool to have both in the same board together!

[BoggleOtaku]

I think possible valid sub words are

ALKOXYBENZYLOXYQUINONOIDS
BENZYLOXYALKOXYQUINONOIDS
ALKOXYBENZYLOXYQUINONOID
BENZYLOXYALKOXYQUINONOID
ALKOXYQUINONOIDS
ALKOXYQUINONOID
BENZYLOXYQUINONOID
QUINONOIDS
QUINONOID
BENZYLOXY
OXYQUINOID
BENZYLOXYQUINS
ALKOOXYQUINS
OXYQUINS
BENZYLOXYQUIN
ALKOOXYQUIN


So such a board could have 10-12+ ultra rare 9+ words in it.

Congratulations lalatan! I had given up on those.

Thanks Spike and BoggleOtaku. Since there may be the possibility of equal or better scoring words, I hope we see them less than the almost 5 years it took to see this...
