sws: Scrabble Word Score

In ScrabbleScore: Calculates Scrabble score for strings

Description

Gives the base word score for a string in scrabble.

Usage

sws(w,only.possible=TRUE,check.valid=FALSE)

Arguments

w	Word or vector of words
only.possible	Default=TRUE Only consider scores that are possible based on the distribution of scrabble letters. For example "zzz" would score 30 if it weren't for the fact that there is only 1 'z' necessitating the use of 2 blanks, for a real score of 10.
check.valid	Default=FALSE When TRUE returns a score of 0 for words not in the TWL06 dictionary.

Value

Returns a vector of values for the word score of each word passed in.
