About Scrabble Word Score Calculator

Tile face values are summed using the standard English Scrabble distribution, multiplied by any word multiplier, and a 50 point bonus is added for playing all seven tiles. The bingo bonus is applied after the word multiplier, not before, which is why a seven tile play on a double word square is worth less than players often assume.

score = sum of tile values x word multiplier + 50 if all seven tiles are used
