Word Tile Game Score Sheet With Letter Values and the 50 Bonus: how it works
This word tile game score sheet is for the crossword game sold as Scrabble, with two to four players. Each turn has a Play box and an All 7 box for the 50-point bonus, and a running total sits under every line. At the end it settles each player's unplayed tiles. The letter values and premium squares print underneath.
How to use the score sheet
Pick the sheet for your table and rename the headings. After each play, type its score under Play on that player's next line. If the play used all seven tiles, type 50 under All 7 as well. A pass or an exchange scores 0, so type 0 to keep the lines level.
Premium squares and the 50 bonus
Count letter squares before word squares: double or triple the tile, add up the word, then multiply the word. A word across two double word squares scores four times, and across two triple word squares nine times. Score every new word a play makes, cross words included.

Questions and answers
Is this an official Scrabble score sheet?
No. It is our own layout, and this site has no connection with the companies that make the game. The letter values, the 50 bonus and the unplayed-tile rule were checked against the published rules of the English-language set. Sets in other languages use different tiles and values.
How do you score a turn?
Add the letters of each new word the play made, with any letter square counted first and any word square after. A premium square counts only on the turn it is covered. FARMS with the F on a double letter square and another tile on a double word square is (8 + 1 + 1 + 3 + 1) x 2, which is 28.
What happens to the tiles left at the end?
Each player adds up the letters still on the rack and types the sum under Minus. A player who played out types everyone else's total under Plus. If the totals finish level, whoever led before the adjustment wins. Clubs and tournaments give the player who goes out twice the opponent's rack: use the Club ending: twice the rack sheet.
