How did I score 203 points on this scrabble word?

My word is ACQUIRES. The C was a blank. The I is on double letter. It crosses 2 triple word tiles. The R was already in place. I play on the computer and it scored it as 203.

its in the upper right corner. I'm going to try to post the pic as an answer. It won't post in the question.

Update:

    The word score is 17. 1+0+10+1+2+1+1+1 = 17. Triple word score is 51. If you have a double triple, you triple your triple score. 3 x 51 = 153.

    Add your 50 point bonus for using all seven tiles. 153 + 50 = 203.

  • You get +50 points for using all of your letters

    A = 1

    C = 0

    Q = 10

    U = 1

    I = 1, but since it's on double letter, it's worth 2

    R = 1

    E = 1

    S = 1

    1 + 0 + 10 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 =>

    10 + 2 + 3 + 2 =>

    10 + 7 =>

    17

    You got 2 triple word scores

    17 * 3 = 51

    51 * 3 = 153

    You used all 7 tiles so you get another 50 points

    153 + 50 = 203
