The word is "splodge". Here's a proof:
futures 0
splurge 5
ghostly 0
scrotum 2
blindly 1
score(futures) = 0 ==> score(---ur--) = 0.
5 = score(splurge) = score(spl--ge) + score(---ur--) = score(spl--ge).
So the word matches spl--ge.
score(ghostly) = 0 ==> score(----t--) = 0.
2 = score(scrotum) = score(s------) + score(-cr--um) + score(---o---) +
score(----t--)
= 1 + 0 + score(---o---) + 0
So the word matches splo-ge.
1 = score(blindly) = score(blin-ly) + score(----d--) = score(----d--).
So the word must be splodge.
As usual, I have no idea what it means.

Heh. Neat word.
OK, I'm thinking of a 7-letter word.
