Introduction

Scrabble is a word game where players place letter tiles on a board to form words. Each letter has a value. A word's score is the sum of its letters' values.

Instructions

Your task is to compute a word's Scrabble score by summing the values of its letters.

The letters are valued as follows:

Letter	Value
A, E, I, O, U, L, N, R, S, T	1
D, G	2
B, C, M, P	3
F, H, V, W, Y	4
K	5
J, X	8
Q, Z	10

For example, the word "cabbage" is worth 14 points:

• 3 points for C
• 1 point for A
• 3 points for B
• 3 points for B
• 1 point for A
• 2 points for G
• 1 point for E
