## Instructions

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

The letters are valued as follows:

| 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    |

For example, the word "cabbage" is worth 14 points:

- 3 points for C
- 1 point for A
- 3 points for B
- 3 points for B
- 1 point for A
- 2 points for G
