The Answer
4 words use all 7 letters: WAITERS, WAISTER, WARIEST, WASTRIE. 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 60 in Scrabble once the 50 point bonus lands.
These letters are 3 vowels and 4 consonants, and it holds an S, the single most useful tile on the board because it hooks onto a word already in play.
