Originally posted by tlai1992ah ha i have spotted my fault....in your examples of words that came to 100, I, being dyslexic, thought that analysis was spelt as you had done in the list; analiyis, not analysis...i looked it up in the dictionary for the correct spelling...sorry for my ignorance
strange i did it and it came to 100 are you sure you spelled it correctly?
interestingly the word dyslexic comes to 101 points!
I found a scrabble site, copied their fancy words into a MS-Word document, did a search and replace to exchange all spaces with line feeds that then became delimiters for import into MS-Excel where I automated the analysis of every word.
Here's the words that gave 100, starting with the ones with least letters. This wont include longer words as scrabble words rarely get over 7 or 8 letters long.

What waste of time! lol!
I've done a three dimensional model of a stone falling into water, analysed a global market for software exports, prepared reports for government grant applications, made a mathematical model to solve a maths puzzle that comes out in our daily paper, tracked my chess performance versus the distribution of all players ratings on RHP versus players within specified bands, etc.
You might no know that there used to be a flight simulator hidden inside the Excel application.
