||
|
|
## Letter Values
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You'll need these:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```plain
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
A, E, I, O, U, L, N, R, S, T 1
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|

|
||

```
|
||

## Examples
|
||
|
|
"cabbage" should be scored as worth 14 points:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- 3 points for C
|
||
|
|
- 1 point for A, twice
|
||
|

- 3 points for B, twice
|
||
|
|
- 2 points for G

|
|
And to total:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `3 + 2*1 + 2*3 + 2 + 1`
|
||
|
|
- = `3 + 2 + 6 + 3`
|
||
|
|
- = `5 + 9`
|
||
|
|
- = 14
|
||
|
