+# Scrabble Score
+
+Write a program that, given a word, computes the scrabble score for that word.
+
+## Letter Values
+
+You'll need these:
+
+```plain
+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:
+
+- 3 points for C
+- 1 point for A, twice
+- 3 points for B, twice
+- 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
+
+## Extensions
+- You can play a `:double` or a `:triple` letter.
+- You can play a `:double` or a `:triple` word.
