# Scrabble Score
Given a word, compute the scrabble score for that word.
## Letter Values
You'll need these:
```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:
- 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.
## Getting Started
Make sure you have read the
[C page](http://exercism.io/languages/c) on the Exercism site. This covers
the basic information on setting up the development environment expected
by the exercises.
## Passing the Tests
Get the first test compiling, linking and passing by following the [three
rules of test-driven development][3-tdd-rules].
The included makefile can be used to create and run the tests using the `test`
task.
make test
Create just the functions you need to satisfy any compiler errors and get the
test to fail. Then write just enough code to get the test to pass. Once you've
done that, move onto the next test.
[3-tdd-rules]: http://butunclebob.com/ArticleS.UncleBob.TheThreeRulesOfTdd
As you progress through the tests, take the time to refactor your
implementation for readability and expressiveness and then go on to the next
test.
Try to use standard C99 facilities in preference to writing your own
low-level algorithms or facilities by hand.
