[[File:Scrabble-scoring-example.png|thumb|Example of a Scrabble game using Quackle, an open-source program. The plays QUITE, MES(QUITE), INFaNCY, and RECO(UN)TS score 48, 57, 88, and 40 points, respectively.]]

Suppose Player 1 plays QUITE 8D, with the Q on a DLS and the E on the center star. Because the center star is a DWS, the score for this play is <math>(2 \times 10 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1) \times 2 = 48</math> points.

Player 2 extends the play to form the word MES(QUITE) 8A with the M on the TWS at 8A. The score for this play is <math>(3 + 1 + 1 + 10 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1) \times 3 = 57</math> points. The Q is not doubled, as the Q was not played on this turn.

Player 1 plays INFaNCY 9D with a blank A, forming five 2-letter words, QI, UN, IF, TA, and EN. Because several additional words were formed, each new word is scored separately. The score for this play, without the 50-point bonus, is

<math>(1+1+4+2\times 0 + 1 + 2 \times 3 + 4) + (10+1) + (1+1) + (1+4) + (1+2\times 0) + (1+1) = 38</math> points. Because all 7 tiles were played on this turn, a 50-point bonus is added, and the score for this play is <math>38+50=88</math> points.

Player 2 plays RECO(UN)TS E4 through the word UN. Because this word covers two DWS squares, the score for this word is quadrupled, and the score for the play is <math>(1+1+3+1+1+1+1+1) \times 2 \times 2 = 40</math> points. Player 1 is ahead 136–97.
