## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need precise Scrabble scoring that accounts for standard English tile point values, board premium squares (double/triple letter or word), blank tiles, and the 7-tile bingo bonus — especially when a user needs an authoritative calculation mid-game or for competitive play. Prefer over generic word tools when the scoring rules and board context are important inputs.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'word' query parameter returns an error
- Non-alphabetic characters in the word field cause a validation failure
- Invalid wordMultiplier value (not 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, or 9) may be rejected or defaulted
- Malformed letterMultipliers list (wrong count or out-of-range values) may produce incorrect results
- Payment failure or expired x402 token returns a 402 Payment Required response

## How this service works

Scrabble score for a word with standard English tile values, letter and word multipliers, blanks and the 50-point bingo.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the total Scrabble score, a per-letter breakdown showing each letter's tile value and applied multiplier, the raw letter sum before word multipliers, the word score after applying the word multiplier, the bingo bonus (50 if 7 tiles used, else 0), and a human-readable summary string.
