Scoring has been in the game for quite a while, at least the whole time I've owned the game, which is at least a year, if not a fair degree longer. My best guess is that maybe you had the optional hints/cheats feature enabled, which the couple times I've tried it blocks a score registering at the end of matches, at least solo matches against the AI (don't think I've played a multiplayer round with that feature on). You can tell if that's turned on if you see a blue play icon in the top left during a match, which when clicked reveals some single-use helpers that can speed up the game or make it easier for novice users, like skip to a room regardless of your roll or get a look at a card in another player's hand.

It's unclear to me the precise method used for assigning a score, but a substantial part of it does seem to be based on the number of turns taken before someone figures out the correct solution and then, in the case of matches versus the AI, what their difficulty level was set at. Fewer turns taken and harder AI equals a higher score. Additionally, scores are used for ranking on the leaderboards, which reset each week.

When you say it resets each week, is that the leaderboards or your personal score?

The leaderboards reset each week. Actually should happen quite soon today, though I’m not sure of the precise hour.

I don't think it keeps an ongoing personal score.
I believe it resets each week, also.
