==Breaking down the problem==
===Step
Since this Scrabble cheater is a bigger project, and something we'll want to be able to run over and over, we'll need to write it in a text file instead of interactively at the Python interpreter.
Line 63:
===Step
We need to turn the words in the <code>sowpods.txt</code> file into a Python list.
Line 123:
Once we have a list of valid words, we need to get the Scrabble scores for each word.
To do this, use a <code>for</code> loop to go through each word in <code>valid_words</code>. For each word, use a counter to keep track of the score so far for the word. Then use another <code>for</code> loop to go through the word letter by letter; look up each letter in the <code>scores</code> dictionary and
To check your work, use the <code>print</code> function inside the <code>for</code> loop to print each word in <code>valid_words</code>
