Words From A E H P R S S
PHRASES and 178 more. Every word these 7 tiles allow, in any order.
The Answer
6 words use all 7 letters: PHRASES, SHERPAS, SHAPERS, SERAPHS, SPHAERS, SPHEARS. They are anagrams of each other, so any of them plays the whole rack. Laying all 7 tiles down in one turn is a bingo, so that play is worth 62 in Scrabble once the 50 point bonus lands.
These letters are 2 vowels and 5 consonants, and it holds an S, the single most useful tile on the board because it hooks onto a word already in play. S appears twice, which cuts the number of distinct words a rack of this size usually makes.
