const SCORES: Record<string, number> = {
  a: 1, e: 1, i: 1, o: 1, u: 1, l: 1, n: 1, r: 1, s: 1, t: 1,
  d: 2, g: 2, b: 3, c: 3, m: 3, p: 3, f: 4, h: 4, v: 4, w: 4, y: 4,
  k: 5, j: 8, x: 8, q: 10, z: 10
};

export function score(word: string = ''): number {
  return [...word.toLowerCase()].reduce((acc, c) => acc + (SCORES[c] || 0), 0);
