Today's letters, starting bottom left and going clockwise:
MAU-ENT-VLY-IOZ

But let's make their game more interesting with scores! This is a quick first-pass, so I'm sure there will be a way to game it, so let's find it and then revise the rules. Suggestions welcome!

Rules:
Only added rule is: no repeat words allowed

Scoring:
2 points per letter, first use; (24 points)
1 point per letter thereafter;
Bonus: plus 5 points for every word under par
Penalty: minus 5 points for every word over par

My attempt:
Anatomy, You, Uvula, Ail, Laze (5/6)
22 letters, 12 first=24, 34pts
Bonus 5
Total score: 39 points
