The tube station that scores the most in Scrabble
39 Shepherd's Bush Market
...except in Scrabble you're not allowed apostrophes, so that's not acceptable.
The tube stations that score the most in Scrabble (2nd attempt)
35 Dagenham Heathway
32 Chiswick Park
32 High Street Kensington
31 Fulham Broadway
31 Northwick Park
31 Walthamstow Central
...except in Scrabble there are only 2 Hs and 1 K, so you'd need to play blanks.
The tube stations that score the most in Scrabble (3rd attempt)
32 High Street Kensington
31 Dagenham Heat?way
31 Fulham Broadway
31 Walthamstow Central
30 Willesden Junction
...except a Scrabble board is only 15 tiles wide, so most of those wouldn't fit.
The tube stations that score the most in Scrabble (4th attempt)
31 Fulham Broadway
29 Hyde Park Corner
28 Belsize Park
28 Finchley Central
28 Warwick Avenue
...except in Scrabble you can only play single words, so none of those are acceptable.
The tube station that scores the most in Scrabble (5th attempt)
26 Bromley-By-?ow
...except in Scrabble you're not allowed hyphenated words, so that isn't acceptable.
The tube stations that score the most in Scrabble (6th attempt)
25 Knightsbridge
24 Queensbury
24 Queensway
24 Whitechapel
22 Blackfriars
22 Cockfosters
...except in Scrabble you're not allowed words that need capital letters, so none of those are acceptable.
The tube stations that score the most in Scrabble (7th attempt)
20 embankment
18 archway
14 barbican
14 barking
13 borough
...except they wouldn't actually score that because of the special squares on the board, so embankment would score a minimum of 24 (with the A and second E on double letter scores), whereas monument could score as much as 45 (if it was laid across two triple word scores with the second M on a double letter score), and even arsenal could beat that (if you laid all seven tiles at the same time and scored the 50 point bonus), so the entire concept of Scrabble scores for tube stations is entirely ambiguous.
