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
