Scrabble

Setup

1. Fork and clone (remember to clone YOUR fork).
2. Run bundle install.
3. Run rspec.

This will run several tests on the code in the lib/scrabble_word.rb file. The first time you run rspec all the tests will fail because there basically isn't any code in lib/scrabble_word.rb.

Your goal is to add code to lib/scrabble_word.rb such that all the tests pass. Until you get to the bonus, there is no need to modify any files except lib/scrabble_word.rb.

If you've never played the game Scrabble before, you may want to ask your neighbor about the rules of the game and how words are scored.

Prompt

• Define a class named ScrabbleWord with an initialize method that takes one argument, word, and stores it in an instance variable @word.

• Write a "getter" for this instance variable @word that returns the word as a lowercase string.

• Define a method .score that returns the scrabble score of the word.

• Define a method .multiplier_score that takes a multiplier as an argument and returns a multiplied value of the score. (Think double or triple word score.)

Here are the letter values. Think about how you might put this data in a usable format for your methods above.

a: 1, b: 3, c: 3, d: 2, e: 1,
f: 4, g: 2, h: 4, i: 1, j: 8,
k: 5, l: 1, m: 3, n: 1, o: 1,
p: 3, q: 10, r: 1, s: 1, t: 1,
u: 1, v: 4, w: 4, x: 8, y: 4,
z: 10
