Scoring per tile:

To make things even more challenging, please consider additional scoring as follows:

Double letter (doubles the value of the letter)
-A double letter will be represented with an asterisk after the letter. he*llo would make a double letter on the e.

Triple letter (triples the value of the letter)
-A triple letter will be represented with two asterisks after the letter. he**llo would make a triple letter on the e.

Double word (double the value of the word after letter rules have been applied)
-A double word is represented by the word ending in (d)

Triple word (triple the value of the word after letter rules have been applied)
-A triple word is represented by the word ending in (t)

A blank (the letter given will score 0)
-A blank tile will be represented with a caret after the letter or asterisk is the letter has a double or triple letter value. he^llo would mean the e scores 0.
