Tile Game Score

Enter a word into the box above and press Calculate to see its tile-game score. The tool shows each letter on a tile-game style tile with the individual point value underneath.

If the word does not appear in the stored word list, the tool will show a validation message instead of a score.

About tile-based word games

Scrabble-like word games use letter tiles, with each letter carrying its own point value. Higher-scoring letters such as Q and Z are worth more points, while more common letters tend to have lower values.

Game play and word choice

Use the score to compare possible words and see which option is worth more points before making a move.

A short history

Modern Scrabble-like word games grew from earlier word-building ideas developed in the 1930s. They later became some of the best-known board word games in the world, especially popular for their mix of vocabulary, strategy, and scoring.

Quick validation

The tool checks the entered word against the stored list before scoring, helping you avoid counting words that do not appear to be valid tile-game entries.
