- '''
- Write a function scrabble_score that takes a string word as input and returns the equivalent scrabble score for that word.
- Assume your input is only one word containing no spaces or punctuation.
- As mentioned, no need to worry about score multipliers!
- Your function should work even if the letters you get are uppercase, lowercase, or a mix.
- Assume that you’re only given non-empty strings.

- score = {"a": 1, "c": 3, "b": 3, "e": 1, "d": 2, "g": 2,
- "f": 4, "i": 1, "h": 4, "k": 5, "j": 8, "m": 3,
- "l": 1, "o": 1, "n": 1, "q": 10, "p": 3, "s": 1,
- "r": 1, "u": 1, "t": 1, "w": 4, "v": 4, "y": 4,
- "x": 8, "z": 10}
- def scrabble_score(word):
- total = 0
- word = word.lower() # change all letters in the word as lowercase
- for i in range(0,len(word)):
- if word[i] in score:
- total += score[word[i]]
- return total
- print scrabble_score("Helix")
