Scrabble Scorer PT-BR

Someone plays CORAÇÃO and the whole table stops to argue about the score. Counting tile by tile is slow and someone always disagrees. Type the word here and you get the total plus a letter by letter breakdown in the form C=2 A=1 R=1, which shows exactly where your count and the tool parted ways. Accents and the cedilla can be typed straight into the field.

Two things are left out, and both move the score a lot: the colored squares on the board and the 50 point bonus for laying down all seven tiles. What you get here is the raw sum of the letters, the starting point before anything doubles or triples. Normalization matters too: the cedilla becomes C and accented vowels drop to the base vowel, so CORAÇÃO is scored as CORACAO. Spaces, digits and hyphens are ignored.

Before using it in a game that counts, check the values against the tiles in your own box. Portuguese editions are not identical, and the table built in here disagrees with the classic Portuguese set on several letters, among them D, L, M, N, G and Z; K, W and Y show up worth 5 even though older Portuguese sets do not include them at all. A blank scores zero, so subtract the letter it stood for yourself.
