Ahhh, but. You can only make one word at a time, if all you're using is your own tiles.
I see three plays with your setup, providing someone else doesn't want to use your letters for plans of his or her own! <g>

Hi Ann,
Okay, I forgot how scrabble works before posting my last response. Now that I have it straight, I have revised my entry.
I use my blank square as an "O." I place "TOM" across. I place a "B" above the "O," and a "Y" under the "O" to form "BOY." I place an "H" and an "I" above the "M" to form "HIM" down and "BI" across. The result is four words: TOM, BOY, HIM, and BI.
Oh yes, and Bi is not a word. I don't think. It's shortened word. Slang. I don't know if it's legal. Society may not mind, but Scrabble judges may...
Bi is a combining form, not used by itself, or a chemical symbol, and I don't know if chem. symbols are acceptable. Anne would.
I don't know if this will kern right on a screen, but it looks like this on my screen:
H
BI
TOM
Y
