Question 1

How are Scrabble letter points calculated?

Accepted Answer

Each letter has a fixed point value based on its frequency in English: common letters like E, A, I are worth 1 point, while rare letters like Q and Z are worth 10 points. The word score is the sum of all letter values.

Colored bonus squares on the Scrabble board multiply your score: light blue = double letter, dark blue = triple letter, pink/red = double word, orange = triple word. This tool lets you apply these multipliers per letter and for the whole word.
