Here are ten sets of seven letters, each consisting of only 1-point tiles, that have only one anagram, which is an everyday seven-letter word.  What are those everyday words?

 

AEENSTT
AEIILNR
AEIINRT
AENNRTT
AIORRTT
EEEIRRT
EEILRSU
EIILSTU

IOORSTU

And, if you thought that was too easy, here’s are five extra sets, also consisting of only 1-pont tiles that also have only one anagram.  They make less common words, but they are the sorts of combinations of letters that you may well find on your rack.  What are these not quite so everyday words?

AAEILNO
AEEINST
AEILRTT
AEINNTT
EEILORT
