The scoring in this game is confusing me, despite having read the rules multiple times.
I'm playing solo games against Penny Dreadful who appears to score impossibly well. For example in the game below she scores 6pts on the very first turn. I don't see how this is possible, when you only have 5 cards (and most of them are for coins not victory points. However the game doesn't show you any words made by the AI opponent.

Despite making nearly the longest word every time, I can't get anywhere near the scores being achieved here. It doesn't help that there is no in-game explanation of why certain words score certain points.
What am I missing here, folks?
