perplexus.info :: Word Problems : Just One

Just One (Posted on 2007-04-04)

You are to fill a 4 x 4 grid with 16 unique letters (these include the 5 vowels).
Each row and column is to form a different English word.
The grid is scored as A=1 to Z=26 for each letter used.

Should the above task prove elusive, letters may only be repeated once but only the first occurrence is to be scored.

What is your best solution and score?

Please value closely what the following is saying.
Because of the nature of this problem I apologise if this solution appears to be cyclical.
-------------------------------------------------------
Within the realms of developing language a best score is not possible until a condition within the link:

is met; 5 vowels and the then highest ranking consonants.
I highly regard and acknowledge the contributions already offered; I trust those respondents similarly concur.
To the Future
You will find some solutions which hopefully challenge yours, but feel free to challenge, and therefore become an 'addendum' to an ongoing solution.
