Scrabble Scorer

A program that accepts user input in the form of a word and returns a Scrabble score relative to one of three scoring algorithms.

• The first algorithm, "Scrabble" awards points relative to the letter's rarity.
• The second algorithm, "Simple Score" awards one point for every letter.
• The third algorithm, "Bonus Vowels" awards three points for vowels, one point for consonants.

Each submission must be recognized as a valid English word to be awarded points. Submissions are case insensitive.

This program was a homework assignment at LaunchCode's Lc101 (2019)
