Scoring

Is Scribble scored the same as Scrabble?  I've never really examined the scoring before but there have been a couple of times where it didn't seem the same.

The score on a play I just made is one of those times.  I played the word YO (forming the secondary word OY) where the two Os were already on the board like so (this may not come out completely lined up):

Before:

TOG
    O
    O
    F

After:

TOG
  YO
    O
    F

Shouldn't this score ten (10) points?  The Y is worth 4 points and the O is worth 1 point so forming the two words that score 5 points each should result in 10 points.  Shouldn't it?  Or am I missing something?

It scored 8 instead.  It is currently (10:55 AM EST) play #26 in game #1.
