# Instructions

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

## Letter Values
The letters are valued as follows:

You'll need these:
| 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 |

```text
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
```

## Examples

"cabbage" should be scored as worth 14 points:
For example, the word "cabbage" is worth 14 points:

- 3 points for C
- 1 point for A, twice
- 3 points for B, twice
- 1 point for A
- 3 points for B
- 3 points for B
- 1 point for A
- 2 points for G
- 1 point for E

And to total:

- `3 + 2*1 + 2*3 + 2 + 1`
- = `3 + 2 + 6 + 3`
- = `5 + 9`
- = 14
