Scoring example

See the example board at right.

Suppose Player 1 plays QUITE 8D, with the Q on a DLS and the E on the center star. Because the center star is a DWS, the score for this play is (2 × 10 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1) × 2 = 48 {\displaystyle (2\times 10+1+1+1+1)\times 2=48} points.

Player 2 extends the play to form the word MES(QUITE) 8A with the M on the TWS at 8A. The score for this play is (3 + 1 + 1 + 10 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1) × 3 = 57 {\displaystyle (3+1+1+10+1+1+1+1)\times 3=57} points. The Q is not doubled, as the Q was not played on this turn.

Player 1 plays INFaNCY 9D with a blank A, forming five 2-letter words, QI, UN, IF, TA, and EN. Because several additional words were formed, each new word is scored separately. The score for this play, without the 50-point bonus, is

(1 + 1 + 4 + 2 × 0 + 1 + 2 × 3 + 4) + (10 + 1) + (1 + 1) + (1 + 4) + (1 + 2 × 0) + (1 + 1) = 38 {\displaystyle (1+1+4+2\times 0+1+2\times 3+4)+(10+1)+(1+1)+(1+4)+(1+2\times 0)+(1+1)=38} points. Because all 7 tiles were played on this turn, a 50-point bonus is added, and the score for this play is 38 + 50 = 88 {\displaystyle 38+50=88} points.

Player 2 plays RECO(UN)TS E4 through the word UN. Because this word covers two DWS squares, the score for this word is quadrupled, and the score for the play is (1 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1) × 2 × 2 = 40 {\displaystyle (1+1+3+1+1+1+1+1)\times 2\times 2=40} points. Player 1 is ahead 136–97.
