Word verification and scoring in Scrabble
https://aged-wiki.win/index.php/Word_verification_and_scoring_in_Scrabble
In Scrabble, word verification and scoring happens after a player places tiles on the board. The official word list confirms each new word is valid, and then points are tallied by adding each tile's value plus any premium squares like double or triple letter scores. This ensures fair play and accurate scoring.
