SCRABBLE
Thank you to Starwarigami for your significant contribution.
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Each yellow square represents a SCRABBLE tile, with its value given by the digit contained in that cell, Each consecutive row or column of tiles forms a 'word'.
A small total in the corner of a cell indicates the score of the word that begins with that tile.
Some squares of the board affect the score:
- Dark Red: Word score is tripled
- Light Red: Word score is doubled
- Dark Blue: Tile value is tripled
- Light Blue: Tile value is doubled
Puzzle:
Solution code: Rows 2 and 3 (no spaces)

Very cool! If you're still around to read this, thank you for providing some substantial inspiration with the board and the counts! Plus I heard another setter say they were thinking of setting a puzzle in that vein as well, so your puzzle here might just know a second life very soon :-)
