#our letter values
my %letter_values;

@letter_values{qw/J K Q X Z/} = qw/8 5 10 8 10/;

# Initialize Squares
my @premium_squares = map { [('  ') x (15) ] } 1..15;

# Triple Word
@$_[0,7,14] = '3W' for @premium_squares[0,7,14];

# Double Word
$premium_squares[$_][$_] = '2W' for 1..4,7,10..13;

# Triple Letter
@$_[5,9] = ('3L') x (2) for @premium_squares[5,9];
@$_[1,5,9,13] = ('3L') x (4) for @premium_squares[1,13];
