Words From A E E L R S T
RELATES and 264 more. Every word these 7 tiles allow, in any order.
The Answer
5 words use all 7 letters: RELATES, STEALER, REALEST, ELATERS, RESLATE. 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 57 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. E appears twice, which cuts the number of distinct words a rack of this size usually makes.
