I ran the code for rack size 7. It took 12 hours 6 mins 18 secs on a 4 core Xeon box with 8 GB memory, OS linux. I am not going to copy the whole output here, just a few first and last lines:
MMVFWXQ => 6.24704795748769e-11 __BPMKQ => 6.24704795748769e-11 BCBMYHV => 6.24704795748769e-11 ... EEAIOND => 3.56231662727778e-05 EEAIONU => 3.56231662727778e-05 EEAIONL => 3.56231662727778e-05 Combinations: 8275164, Count: 16007560800.

I probably have an error in the code :-)

Update: I see it now. The error was my effort to "DRY". The @tiles array must be defined as follows to make it work:

my @tiles = (('_') x 2, # 2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points) # 1 point ('E') x 12, ('A') x 9, ('I') x 9, ('O') x 8, ('N') x 6, ('R') x 6, ('T') x 6, ('L') x 4, ('S') x 4, ('U') x 4, # 2 points ('D') x 4, ('G') x 3, # 3 points ('B') x 2, ('C') x 2, ('M') x 2, ('P') x 2, # 4 points ('F') x 2, ('H') x 2, ('V') x 2, ('W') x 2, ('Y') x 2, # 5 points ('K'), # 8 points qw(J X), # 10 points qw(Q Z));

Stay tuned, the next result is comming in 12 hours.
