First we store the score address (`wScore`) in HL. This allows us to use instructions like `LD A, [HL]` and `LD [HL], A`. In total this is 1 M-cycle and 1 byte more efficient than if we provided the address itself when loading and storing the score (`LD A, [wScore]` and `LD [wScore], A` respectively).

Then we load the the score from that address into register A, the only register to be affected by `ADD`. This means that we can now increment it by 1 using exactly that instruction.
