+If you need help running the tests or submitting your code, check out `HELP.md`.
+
+## Instructions
+
+Given a word, compute the Scrabble score for that word.
+
+## Letter Values
+
+You'll need these:
+
+```text
+Letter                           Value
+A, E, I, O, U, L, N, R, S, T       1
+D, G                               2
+B, C, M, P                         3
+F, H, V, W, Y                      4
+K                                  5
+J, X                               8
+Q, Z                               10
+```

+## Examples
+
+"cabbage" should be scored as worth 14 points:
+
+- 3 points for C
+- 1 point for A, twice
+- 3 points for B, twice
+- 2 points for G
+- 1 point for E
+
+And to total:
+
+- `3 + 2*1 + 2*3 + 2 + 1`
+- = `3 + 2 + 6 + 3`
+- = `5 + 9`
+- = 14
