What Is It and When Do You Need It?

Knowing a word score helps you pick the best play. Players use a calculator to compare words and to settle a dispute.

Type a word, choose the game and any multiplier.

How to Use This Tool

  1. Enter or paste your input in the box or boxes above.
  2. Choose the options, if there are any.
  3. Press the button to run the tool.
  4. Read the result and use the copy button where one is shown.

How the Calculation Works

Each letter is looked up in the tile value table for the chosen game. The values are added up, multiplied by 2 or 3 if the word covers a double or triple word square, and then the seven-tile bonus is added. Letter squares are not modelled, so for those add the extra points by hand.

Worked Example

QUIZ scores 10 + 1 + 1 + 10 = 22 in Scrabble. HELLO scores 4 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 8.

Common Uses

  • Choosing the best word.
  • Settling score disputes.
  • Teaching letter values.
  • Making word games.

Tips and Common Mistakes

  • Enter blank tiles as ? so they score zero.
  • Letter bonus squares change the score, so add them by hand.
  • The tile values here are for English.
  • Check the first result against a case you already know, so you can trust the tool for the rest.
  • Nothing you type leaves your device. The work is done by your browser, so it also works with a slow connection once the page has loaded.

Next, you may need the anagram checker, isogram checker, character counter, text repeater.

Everything runs in your browser. Nothing you type is uploaded, stored or sent to any outside service.
