In the game of Scrabble, players create words to score points, and the number of points is the sum of the point values of each letter in the word.
A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 1 | 8 | 5 | 1 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 10 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 4 | 4 | 8 | 4 | 10 |
For example, if we wanted to score the word Code
, we would note that in general Scrabble rules, the C
is worth 3
points, the o
is worth 1
point, the d
is worth 2
points, and the e
is worth 1
point. Summing these, we get that Code
is worth 3 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 7
points.
