On the other end of the scale, the lowest scoring element in the periodic table is tin, with a paltry 3 point return.
Phosphorus seems pretty playable if convenient letters are already on the board, and will score you a pretty impressive 20 points. For instance, zinc, despite only containing four letters, will score you a whopping 15 points. Putting aside the highest scoring elements, the table also reveals some other elements of interest.
Not technically impossible😉 Could have the necessary letters to play it from here for example, haha! /QC5nmS2N0j- Andrea Chlebikova #FBPE July 7, 2019Ĭorrected example with actually feasible letter counts, because details matter😉 /Wfipicln38- Andrea Chlebikova #FBPE July 7, 2019 And while you’d need a pretty specific board configuration to be able to play ‘praseodymium’, it’s been pointed out that it is possible: Rutherfordium might have potential, though – it could be built up from ‘ford’ –> ‘Rutherford’ –> ‘Rutherfordium’. At first it might look like they’re not likely to be playable in a normal game of Scrabble. Turns out, there are actually three different elements which will get you 22 points: zirconium, rutherfordium, and praseodymium. Again, without looking it up, which of the 118 elements scores highest in Scrabble (not doubling or tripling of anything)? #IYPT2019- Stuart Cantrill July 6, 2019
This graphic was inspired by the following tweet from Stuart Cantrill: Which element name will get you the highest score in a game of Scrabble? That’s the question that inspired this slightly frivolous graphic, which looks at how many points each of the elements’ names will bag you in the word-building board game.
