How many points would you get for the word SCRABBLE in the game scrabble?

[merlinius]

14 if none of the letters occupy premium squares

14 if none of the letters occupy premium squares.
If, however, 7 of the letters contained in the word 'scrabble' were dispensed from your rack in a single turn, then your score is 64.

Ummm..... Its more complicated than that. You only have seven tiles at a time.

If you take it that the word is put down in one turn, then the eighth letter you need to make scrabble must already be on the board, so your score would depend on how the word scrabble touches the existing word(s).

I would take it that the answer is 14 - or the setter wants you to add the 50 point bonus and has made the mistake of giving an eight letter word.

Thany you. This seemed to be quite a loose question
