blank tile is worth zero, thankyouverymuch
When I use a blank (question mark), it calculates the scores for the words based on the scores for the lettered tiles. The reason this is a problem is that in any standard Scrabble game, the blank is worth zero points. So if I want to view the results by score, all the words with Z and X and so on in place of the blank show up at the top of the list, even though the words wouldn't actually be worth that much. Is there any way to fix this? Any way to re-work the script so that it knows that a blank can be any letter but isn't worth any points?
