RESCUE, SECURE and RECUSE share the same tiles
Each answer needs R, S, C, U and two E tiles. Each has 8 base points: C contributes 3 and the other five tiles contribute 1 each. CEREUS, CERUSE and CESURE are additional full-length entries in our game’s list.
The second E changes what is possible
The rack RESCU has only five tiles, so it cannot supply RESCUE. RESCU? can use the blank for the missing E. That version has 7 base points, because the substituted E is worth zero. CURE uses four real tiles and leaves E and S.
What this list confirms
These answers come from the same English list as Scrabble (our version). They are not labelled as an official tournament or WWF list. Count repeated letters separately, and check every cross-word before placing tiles.
Check a particular word, practise a rack with hidden answers or unscramble different letters.
