Highest Scoring Word in SC

[LostInSpace]

I was trying to figure out what was the BEST word you could possibly make in SC and I think I found it.

As a matter of fact, I think there's 3 words that are tied.

Can anyone name all 3? I'm sure someone can. Although, I could be wrong and missed the best one.

I'll give it 24 hours and see if anyone guesses the ones I thought of, or comes up with one that I didn't think of.

I've never come up with any of them in a game yet, let alone with the perfect layout.

Nope, neither of them!

Quetzal is CLOSE, but NOT the highest possible score. If you get the best set-up for quetzal you get 269 points, and 215 for quezals.

There's actually quite a bit of words you could get some GREAT points if they landed on the right cubes (240-260 range).

The three I found will give you 287 points. Try again Grasshopper!

It lands NOWHERE, cause it's not an accepted Scrabble word! BUT... If it was... It WOULD be the highest!

That would net you 296 points on the right cubes! TOO BAD!!

Wow really? Bummer... there's a dictionary entry for it, but I'm by no means a scrabble wizard.

Yeah, it's a bummer! That'd be a nice word to get.

Since no one wants to guess what the words are anymore, here they are for 287 points each:

bezique
cazique
jukebox

If you can get two of the triple letter cubes connected with the triple word cube... BAM!! 287 POINTS!!

Good luck with that!
