Why don't you provide the counting system inside the function? What's the point of retyping it from wiki?
@Jonas
I agree
case {'l','s','u','n','r','t','o','a','i','e'}
score=1
case {'g','d'}
score=2
case {'b','c','m','p'}
score=3
case {'f','h','v','w','y'}
score=4
case {'k'}
score=5
case {'j','x'}
score=8
case {'q','z'}
score=10
