This was a challenge!
For 0 blanks, I used a macro to generate all the possible letter combos. Then I compared it against the word list - not too bad
For 1 and 2 blanks, I ended up with 2 different variations on the same macro. I took the possible words from the first macro and Appended the letters A-Z once or twice. I know I could work that out to be iterative so I didn't need 2 macros, but at this point, I'm fried, so 2 versions.
From there, I alphabetized the letters (e.g. aba became aab) and returned them to the main workflow.
Back on the main workflow, I alphabetized the letters from the word list. Then I compared them and did the math to subtract the letter values for the blanks and found the top point values.
1 blank:
2 blank:
