So I've only played scrabble a few times, and Im kinda confused. Here is what the scoring says from their web site
So here are the two words Im confused about so far, no matter what I do I can't add the scores up and make them match what it got.
1. The word GREET was already there, I played the wore KITE using the T from GREET. It gave me 54 Pts. for it. Following their logic, since GREET was there already it was not a "new" word, so I should have gotten the points from it, but even if I did I still cant get up to 54.
Here is a screen shot, note the TW under the E in KITE, TL under the K in KITE, and also a DL under the E in GREET.
Could someone please break down exactly how it got 54 for KITE?
2. RUPEE, and TEAS were on the board, my friend spelled the word "ZAS" Even though the word he spelled was ZAS, the game said that he played RUPEES, and gave him a score of 68. If he played ZAS, why did it say he played RUPEES, and how did it get to 68?
Screenshot: TW under S in ZAS, TL under P in RUPEES, DW under S in TEAS, and DL under T in TEAS
Sorry for the rant, just confused
Scoring said:•Double the value of any tiles that were played this turn on a DL space, and triple the value of any tile that was played on a TL space this turn. Do not double the value of tiles on DL and TL spaces for tiles that were played on previous rounds.
•Add up the values of all letters in the word, even if some were played on a previous turn.
•Double the value of the word if any tiles this turn were played on a DW space (and double it again in the case were 2 DW spaces were played upon). Triple the value of the word if any tiles this turn were played on a TW space (and triple it again if 2 TW spaces were used). Do not multiply words if tiles on DW or TW spaces were used from a previous turn.
•It is possible to create multiple words with the same play. In this case, score each new word separately, including bonuses, and sum all of the new words together.
•35 bonus points are awarded whenever a player uses all 7 tiles on their rack in a single turn.
