Looks good. However, for ease of maintenace / reability., you could put letters with the same score in a loop that adds them to your hashmap like this:

private static final Map<Character, Integer> LETTER_SCORES = new HashMap<>();
static {
for (char c : new char[] { 'A', 'E', 'I', 'O', 'U', 'L', 'N', 'R', 'S', 'T' }) {
LETTER_SCORES.put(c, 1);
}
for (char c : new char[] { 'D', 'G' }) {
LETTER_SCORES.put(c, 2);
}
for (char c : new char[] { 'B', 'C', 'M', 'P' }) {
LETTER_SCORES.put(c, 3);
}
for (char c : new char[] { 'F', 'H', 'V', 'W', 'Y' }) {
LETTER_SCORES.put(c, 4);
}
