Scrabble scoring using arrays

I have to make a scrabble scoring game using 2 arrays. The first array holds the user inputted word and the second array holds the value of each letter. Lastly a function is needed to calculate the score. Im having trouble assigning the user values to the second array to get the score.

#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <cmath>
#include <ctime>

using namespace std;

int scoreCalculator(int total);
char userWord;
int points;
int total=0;
int main()
{

	char userWord[11];
	for (int i=0; i<11; i++)
	{
		userWord[i]='\0';
	}

	cout<<"Enter your word less than 10 letters: "<<endl;
	cin>>userWord;
	cout<<"Here is the word you inputted: "<<userWord<<endl;  

	int scrabblePoints[26]={1,3,3,2,1,4,2,4,1,8,5,1,3,1,1,3,10,1,1,1,1,4,4,8,4,10};
	
	for(int j=0; j<26; j++)
	{
		userWord[i]
	}

	cout<<"Here is your score: "<<scoreCalculator(total)<<endl;

}
int scoreCalculator(int total)
{

	total+=scrabblePoints[j];

}


This is what I have so far and where im stuck at
