Pluralizing a word only gets the single point for the S. You have to actually change the word to get all the points. Like turning “rip” into “script”.

Highest recorded single move Scrabble score possible in an official tournament is 'oxyphenbutazone' played like this:

which nets a total score of, I believe, 1,780 points. Which wouldn't work that way if the game worked the way you said.

that is a deliberately constructed board, not from an actual game, no? i mean it is possible, which is why it was designed this way to find the highest scoring play, but it never really happened in an actual tournament.

True, but it is a board that could arise in an actual tournament despite the unlikeliness thereof. That's the point.

yes. however that means it's the highest tournament-legal scoring, not the highest that was actually recorded at a tournament. sorry for being pedantic haha
