You score two points per letter tile for any word formed with all letters only one tile high ( no letter in the word is stacked on top of another letter).

You score 1 point per letter tile for any word formed that contains any letters stacked two or more tiles high.Count each letter in your word and every letter tile under each letter of your word to get your score.

You score 2 extra bonus points for using the letter"Qu" in any word with all letters and only one tile high. BUT... you do not receive any extra bonus points if you use the "Qu" tile in a word formed with any of its letters more than one tile high.

You score 20 extra bonus points if you use all 7 of your letter tiles in one turn.
If you form two or more words on the same turn, each word is scored. Any letter or stack of letters common to these to words is scored for each word.( In other words if you have MOOD, across and the word DEAR going down from the "D", and you put the word NET down, you would claim the words MOOD & NET & ON ...to your score because the "N" connected both words.

At the end of the game, 5 points are subtracted from your score for each letter tile you cannot play.

ILLEGAL WORDS:
Any word that falls into any category listed below cannot be used in the game...
*Words always capitalized *Words requiring a hyphen
