So, by cutting the input Word into the array S we, straight away, have a base score of 1 point per letter.

Note: using link above, re-run with input on command line like ASM ABC, etc.

As a callable function, input string at [SI], length in CX. Output to DX.

Explanation

Uses a score table of 4-bit nibbles for each tile's score. Loops through the input string and converts each letter to a zero-based index. Each index is divided by two to find the corresponding byte in the table. The low nibble is added if the index is odd, otherwise the high nibble is added if the index is even.

Very naive approach. Stores the letters in an ARRAY with indices equal to the scores. It tries to match 0 for point values that don't exist, which ends in a score of 0.

	V =ARRAY(10,0)			;* set up value array of 10 values with contents all 0
	V<1> ='EAIONRTLSU'		;* set contents at appropriate indices
	V<2> ='DG'
	V<3> ='BCMP'

N	S =I				;* begin Next iteration
	X =LT(X,10)	X + 1	:F(O)	;* increment X or GOTO output
R	S ANY(V<X>) =	:S(R)		;* replace ANY letters in V<X> with nothing

Pretty much ungolfed, but first brainfuck code for this question. This code can only handle uppercase letters. Any other symbol will lead to an endless loop. Also the maximum score depends on the used bf-interpreter. On tio.run this can handle scores up to 254.

points:

input: current letter marker (0 or neg 1), current letter
points table: check letter marker (0 or neg 1), points

05AB1E, 18 bytes

•Q<ß÷λv¸Ïàœ¶•IÇè>O

Try it online!

Explanation:

•Q<ß÷λv¸Ïàœ¶•           # compressed integer 30740200290000337390221031
             IÇ         # codepoints of the input
               è        # index into the digits of the large integer
                >       # increment each
                 O      # sum

The large integer encodes the point value of each letter. Since encoding numbers in the range 1-10 would be inconvenient, we subtract 1 so that each one fits on a single digit (this is why the > is needed).

Note that indexing in 05AB1E wraps around, so the first digit of the number actually corresponds to "h" ("h"'s codepoint is 104, which is 0 mod 26). This is convenient: since numbers can't start with 0, we don't want the first digit to correspond to "a".

Alternative 18-byter:

A•Θ¡₆öηÖ&'/α°•R‡>O

Try it online!

A pushes "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz". transliterates, replacing each letter in the input with the corresponding digit in the compressed integer. A‡ saves one byte over IÇè; unfortunately, this encoding puts "a" first, so we have to use R (reverse) to get around the issue that numbers can't start with 0.

Yet another 18-byter:

žW•Δÿ¦ÝZ=áí4_ø•‡>O

Try it online!

Same idea as above, but this one uses the obscure žW built-in to push "qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm". žW is one byte longer than A, but it saves the R since "q" isn't a 1-point letter.

Of course Wolfram|Alpha supports Scrabble scoring! This is an anonymous function.

Plus@@(First[WolframAlpha["Scrabble "<>##,"NumberData"]]&/@Characters[#])&

This doesn't work on TIO.

To run, go here, scroll down and click "Create a New Notebook »". The code to use in the notebook is in this TIO program so you can copy it. Paste each function call in its own code block. If you run too many in a single block, the execution won't complete.

Note that WolframAlpha sends a request using the Internet. Though there are other answers on PPCG that use it, I thought you should know.

This program uses the below shorter function, but calls it on each individual character of the input (sending a separate call to Wolfram|Alpha each time!)


This only works for input up to length 15, the width of a Scrabble board. (49 bytes)

Pip, 34 33 bytes

1+("3V1S1QFRU1SMQ12W7"FB36)@A_MSa

Takes input in lowercase as a command-line argument. Try it online!

Explanation

We map a function to each character of the command-line argument a and sum the results using MS.

In the function, we convert the argument _ to its ASCII code using A, and then use that to index into the magic number 30740200290000337390221031. With cyclic indexing, this maps a -> 0, b -> 2, ... , z -> 9 (one less than the Scrabble score). We then add 1 to get the correct score of each letter.

We save one byte by encoding the number in base 36 (the highest base Pip's builtin base conversion can handle) as the string "3V1S1QFRU1SMQ12W7" and then converting it from base 36 to decimal using FB.

@(x)sum('09977433333222211'(([~,y]=ismember(x,'QZJXKFHVWYBCMPDG'))+1)-47)

Try it online!

Uses ismember to map each character in the input stream x onto it's index in the lookup string 'QZJXKFHVWYBCMPDG'. Any element not found will be mapped to an index of 0 (this will include the 1-point characters).

Next we add 1 to the index to make the 0's become valid 1-index references, and lookup into the string '09977433333222211'. This is one element longer than the first lookup string. The digits represent the point value of each element in the original string, minus 1, with the extra element being a '0' at the beginning .

Finally the resultant string is converted to integers by subtracting 47 ('0'-1), yielding the point value for each letter, and all point values are then summed.
