          ANSWER = 9




          Because




          You convert the letters into Scrabble letter values and sum them all up


          SCORE $rightarrow 1+3+1+1+1 = 7$

          NUMBER $rightarrow 1+1+3+3+1+1 = 10$

          ZEBRA $rightarrow 10+1+3+1+1 = 16$

          QUESTION $rightarrow 10+1+1+1+1+1+1+1 = 17$

          RAINBOW $rightarrow 1+1+1+1+3+1+4 = 12$

          AXOLOTL $rightarrow 1+8+1+1+1+1+1 = 14$


          So ANSWER $rightarrow 1+1+1+4+1+1 = 9$

          I think the answer is




          16




          I arrived at this by




          Assume the word value is based on the sum of arbitrary values of the vowels




          then




          o+e=7, u+e=10, e+a=16 (and this would also be the value of ANSWER), u+e+i+o=17, a+i+o=12




          which gives




          u+i=10, a-u=6, a+i=16 and finally, o= -4.




          finishing gives




          o = -4, e = 11, u = -1, a = 5, i = 11 which fits all the word values and gives the value of ANSWER as 16
