How do I keep a running total score in c++?

I'm trying to create a word puzzle game with c++ where the computer generates a scrambled word. The player has to guess the word to win the game. I have all that but, I want the player to have a score and I'm having trouble keeping a running score....the score seems to reset once the loop starts over again instead of adding the score from the first loop to the second and so on until the player quits....any help would be greatly appreciated THANKS!

Set the value to 0 above the loop and add to the value

test = 0;

loop{

score = 15;
test+=score;
}

cout << test
