What is the Scrabble Word Score Calculator?
This tool computes the point value of a word in the classic English-language Scrabble game. It uses the standard 100-tile letter distribution values, then applies premium-square multipliers and the famous 50-point "bingo" bonus you earn for playing all seven tiles in a single turn.
How to use it
Type your word, choose whether it lands on a Double Word or Triple Word square, enter any letter-bonus points from Double/Triple Letter squares, and tick the box if you used all seven tiles. The calculator returns the total score along with a breakdown of base letter value, multipliers and bonuses.
The formula explained
Each letter has a fixed value (A=1, B=3, C=3, … Q=10, Z=10). Add up the values of every letter to get the base score. Multiply that by the word multiplier (×2 or ×3). Then add any letter-bonus points (already counted as extra value from premium letter tiles) and finally add 50 if you played a bingo. Note that in real Scrabble, letter premiums are applied before the word premium — here we expose a simple "letter bonus" field so you can add those extra points directly.
$$\text{Score} = \left( \sum_{i} \text{value}(\text{Word}_i) \right) \times \text{Word Mult} + \text{Letter Bonus} + 50 \cdot \text{Bingo}$$
Worked example
The word QUIZ: Q=10, U=1, I=1, Z=10, giving a base of 22. On a Triple Word square that becomes \(22 \times 3 = 66\) points. With no letter bonus and no bingo, the total is 66.
FAQ
What letter values does it use? The standard English Scrabble set: 1-point (A,E,I,L,N,O,R,S,T,U), 2 (D,G), 3 (B,C,M,P), 4 (F,H,V,W,Y), 5 (K), 8 (J,X), 10 (Q,Z).
How does the bingo bonus work? If you use all seven of your tiles in one play, you score an extra 50 points on top of your word score.
Do blanks count? Blank tiles are worth 0 points. Since this tool scores typed letters, simply leave the blank's letter out of the word or remember it contributes nothing.
