Scrabble letter distributions

Editions of the word board game Scrabble in different languages have differing letter distributions of the tiles, because the frequency of each letter of the alphabet is different for every language. As a general rule, the rarer the letter, the more points it is worth.

A full English-language set of Scrabble tiles

Many languages use sets of 102 tiles, since the original distribution of one hundred tiles was later augmented with two blank tiles. In tournament play, while it is acceptable to pause the game to count the tiles remaining in the game, it is not acceptable to mention how many tiles are remaining at any time.[1] Several online tools exist for counting tiles during friendly play.[2]

English-language editions of Scrabble contain 100 letter tiles, in the following distribution:

  • 2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
  • 1 point: E ×12, A ×9, I ×9, O ×8, N ×6, R ×6, T ×6, L ×4, S ×4, U ×4
  • 2 points: D ×4, G ×3
  • 3 points: B ×2, C ×2, M ×2, P ×2
  • 4 points: F ×2, H ×2, V ×2, W ×2, Y ×2
  • 5 points: K ×1
  • 8 points: J ×1, X ×1
  • 10 points: Q ×1, Z ×1

The total number of points is 187.

When Alfred Butts invented the game, he initially experimented with different distributions of letters.[3] A popular story claims that Butts created an elaborate chart by studying the front page of The New York Times to create his final choice of letter distributions.[4]

In 2004, Super Scrabble was launched. For international distribution outside the United States and Canada, and under license from Mattel, the game is manufactured by Leisure Tends' Tinderbox Games; and, for distribution within the United States and Canada, under license from Hasbro, the game is manufactured by Winning Moves. This set is composed of 200 tiles:

  • 4 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
  • 1 point: E ×24, A ×16, O ×15, T ×15, I ×13, N ×13, R ×13, S ×10, L ×7, U ×7
  • 2 points: D ×8, G ×5
  • 3 points: C ×6, M ×6, B ×4, P ×4
  • 4 points: H ×5, F ×4, W ×4, Y ×4, V ×3
  • 5 points: K ×2
  • 8 points: J ×2, X ×2
  • 10 points: Q ×2, Z ×2

Super Scrabble contains more letters that are overlined and fewer letters that are underlined than would be obtained by combining two standard English sets.

Circa 1953, the Production and Marketing Company had provided license to the private company Leon Toys of Johannesburg, South Africa in the manufacture and production of Scrabble. Alongside the English language version of Scrabble the company also produced the first Afrikaans language version of the game under the name Krabbel, an Afrikaans translation of "Scrabble". This language set of the game had the following 100 tiles:

  • 2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
  • 1 point: E ×15, A ×9, I ×8, L ×4, N ×7, O ×6, R ×5, S ×6, T ×6, U ×2
  • 2 points: D ×6, G ×4
  • 3 points: B ×2, M ×1, P ×2
  • 4 points: F ×2, H ×3, V ×2, W ×2, Y ×2
  • 5 points: K ×3
  • 8 points: J ×1

Absent in both the original and standard set of Afrikaans are the letters C, Q, X, and Z. The infrequent X and Z may still be represented by the use of a blank, yet the letters C and Q, not used in Afrikaans but only in a few loanwords, may not be.

The Anglo-Saxon editions use these 101 tiles:[5]

  • 2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
  • 1 point: E ×14, N ×9, A ×8, O ×6, R ×6, D ×5, S ×5, G ×4, H ×4, I ×4, L ×4
  • 2 points: F ×3, M ×3, T ×3, W ×3
  • 3 points: Æ ×3, C ×3, U ×3
  • 4 points: Ð ×2, Þ ×2, Y ×2
  • 5 points: B ×1
  • 8 points: P ×1
  • 10 points: X ×1

Anglo-Saxon uses the letter K, but it only occurs in one word (kyning) and loanwords, so there is no tile for it. Anglo-Saxon uses the letter Z, but it is a very rare spelling of TS, and is used in loanwords for the sound of Z in modern English, so there is no tile for it. J, V, and Q are only used in loanwords. Anglo-Saxon uses the letter Ƿ, but it was replaced by W in this set because it can be easily confused with P. Anglo-Saxon also uses the letter Ȝ, but it is a typographic variant of G, so that is used instead. This version is hand-made and is not an official edition by Mattel.

Arabic-language editions use the following 100 tiles:

  • 2 blank tiles scoring 0 points
  • 1 point: ×8, ×4, ×4, ×3, ×3, ×3, ×3, ×3, ×3, ي ×3
  • 2 points: ×4, ×4, ×3, ×3, ×3, ×3,
  • 3 points: ×3, ×3, ×3, ×3, ×3
  • 4 points: ×3, ×3, ×3, ×3, ×2,
  • 5 points: ×2
  • 6 points: ×2
  • 8 points: ×2, ×2
  • 10 points: ×2, ×2,

Although Arabic letters have up to four forms, Scrabble tiles use the isolated form. In some sets, as found in some Arabic-based alphabets that are not the standard modern Arabic, a dotless yeh (alif maqsura) may be used ى, and for the letter he the final form ھ (heh doachashmee) may appear, as it is in some Arabic-based alphabets, as in Urdu, the isolated form of the letter. The pattern of using the isolated forms in composing words is also found Arabic crosswords and in the Scrabble3D Persian Scrabble set and is one of the rare situations when Arabic letters are not connected to each other.

Armenian-language editions use the following 146 tiles.[6] The board is 17x17 instead of 15x15. This version is called ԲԱՌ ԽԱՂ (bar khagh, meaning words game) and is not an official edition by Mattel.

  • 3 blank tiles (0 points)
  • 1 point: Ա (ayb) ×18, Ե (yech) ×10, Ի (ini) ×10, Ո (vo) ×8, Կ (ken) ×7, Ն (nu) ×7, Ս (seh) ×6

  • 10 points: Ը (ët') ×1, Ֆ (feh) ×1

Notice that this distribution lacks և, another Armenian letter, because:

  • The letter is most common by itself.
  • It is not a capital or lowercase letter.

However, it can be formed as a ligature of ե/Ե and ւ/Ւ.

The uncommon digraphic letters sh (sometimes represented with the IPA symbol ʃ; a regional variant of s) and kh (only used in loanwords) are absent as they are now considered obsolete.[8] [9] [10] The Latin alphabetic letters Q, V, and X are also absent because these letters are not used in Bambara. This version is made for educational purposes and is not an official edition by Mattel.

Catalan-language editions use these 100 tiles.

  • 2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
  • 1 point: E ×13, A ×12, I ×8, R ×8, S ×8, N ×6, O ×5, T ×5, L ×4, U ×4
  • 2 points: C ×3, D ×3, M ×3
  • 3 points: B ×2, G ×2, P ×2
  • 4 points: F ×1, V ×1
  • 8 points: H ×1, J ×1, Q ×1, Z ×1
  • 10 points: Ç ×1, L·L ×1, NY ×1, X ×1

Nevertheless, there are special tiles for the C with cedilla Ç (ce trencada), the ligature L·L representing the geminated L (ela geminada), as well as the digraph NY. K, W, and Y are absent because they are only used in loanwords or, for Y, the digraph NY. Blanks cannot be used to represent K, W, or Y, which means that playing an N tile followed by a blank tile to form the digraph NY is not allowed. Official rules treat the Q tile as just one letter, but usually Catalan players use the Q tile like the QU digraph and all Catalan Scrabble Clubs use this de facto rule.[14] While Ç is a separate tile, other diacritic marks are ignored.

There is a Catalan Scrabble clone which uses the same 21x21 board as Super Scrabble.[15] [16] It includes the following 200 tiles, with the Q tile replaced with the QU digraph, because Q in Catalan is never without a U after it, and with two of the special tiles, Ç and L·L, increased in value:

  • 5 wild (asterisk) tiles scoring 0 points
  • 1 point: E ×27, A ×25, S ×19, I ×17, R ×16, N ×12, O ×10, T ×10, L ×8, U ×6
  • 2 points: M ×7, C ×5, D ×5
  • 3 points: B ×3, G ×3, P ×3
  • 4 points: F ×2, V ×2
  • 8 points: H ×2, J ×2, QU ×2, Z ×2

  • 8 points: F ×1
  • 10 points: ×1, Đ ×1

Q, W, X and Y are not included, as Croatian does not use those letters. Arguably F does not exist in Croatian either, but it is included as it is sometimes used for borrowed words.

  • 8 points: Ď ×1
  • 10 points: X ×1

Q and W are absent because they are only used in loanwords, though W can be played with a blank.[17] X is also used only in loanwords, but it is more frequent than Q and W, so it is included. The digraphic letter CH does not appear in this edition and is not representable by the blank (joker);[18] CH is instead played as two distinct letters C and H.

Furthermore, it had only 1 F and only 4 S tiles; and the face value of the G was only 2 points. The Flemish version never had IJ tiles, it was as described above. The Dutch version is now in line with the Flemish one. Instead of the IJ letter a combination of the I and J is now used.

Another Dutch version before March 1998 consisted of these 100 tiles:

  • 2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
  • 1 point: E ×16, N ×8, A ×6, O ×6, I ×4
  • 2 points: D ×5, R ×5, S ×5, T ×5
  • 3 points: K ×3, L ×3, M ×3, P ×3, B ×2, G ×2
  • 4 points: U ×4, F ×2, H ×2, J ×2, V ×2, IJ ×2, Z ×2
  • 5 points: C ×2, W ×2
  • 8 points: X ×1
  • 10 points: Q ×1

The original Dutch version consisted of these 102 tiles:

  • 2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
  • 1 point: E ×18, N ×10, A ×6, I ×6, O ×6, R ×6, T ×6, D ×5, S ×3
  • 2 points: G ×4, H ×3, L ×3
  • 3 points: B ×2, C ×2, M ×2, P ×2

  • 3 points: F ×2, G ×2, Ĝ ×2, V ×2
  • 4 points: B ×2, Ĉ ×2, C ×1, Ŝ ×1
  • 5 points: Z ×1
  • 8 points: H ×1, Ŭ ×1
  • 10 points: Ĥ ×1, Ĵ ×1

Q, W, X, and Y are not present, since Esperanto does not use those letters.

  • 6 point: Ö ×2
  • 8 point: F ×1
  • 10 point: Š ×1, Z ×1, Ž ×1

C, Q, W, X and Y are absent because these letters are only used in foreign words and are not an official part of the alphabet. Arguably F, Š, Z and Ž do not exist either, but they were included so that loanwords can be played.

An unofficial, earlier, Faroese-language edition consisted of the following 105 tiles:[23]

  • 2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
  • 1 point: A ×11, I ×10, N ×8, R ×8, T ×7, E ×6, S ×5, U ×5

  • 6 points: Á ×1, Ó ×1, Ø ×1
  • 8 points: Æ ×1, Ú ×1
  • 10 points: Ý ×1

C, Q, W, and Z are absent since these letters are not used in Faroese. X, which was once part of the Faroese orthography, is also absent because it is now obsolete. This version is made for educational purposes and is not an official edition by Mattel.

  • 1 point: A ×10, I ×10, N ×9, T ×9, E ×8, S ×7
  • 2 points: K ×5, L ×5, O ×5, Ä ×5

  • 7 points: D ×1, Ö ×1
  • 8 points: B ×1, F ×1, G ×1
  • 10 points: C ×1

This distribution lacks Q, Š, W, X, Z, Ž, and Å, since they are virtually absent in Finnish. Arguably B, C, F, and G (outside the digraph NG) do not exist in Finnish either, but they are included as they are used for borrowed words, and F in some western dialects.

A variant called Alfapet (originally the name of Swedish Scrabble), contains 108 tiles:

German-language editions of Scrabble contain 102 letter tiles, in the following distribution:

  • 2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
  • 1 point: E ×15, N ×9, S ×7, I ×6, R ×6, T ×6, U ×6, A ×5, D ×4
  • 2 points: H ×4, G ×3, L ×3, O ×3
  • 3 points: M ×4, B ×2, W ×1, Z ×1
  • 4 points: C ×2, F ×2, K ×2, P ×1
  • 6 points: Ä ×1, J ×1, Ü ×1, V ×1
  • 8 points: Ö ×1, X ×1
  • 10 points: Q ×1, Y ×1

Before the current 102-tile set, German language sets had 119 tiles. With the larger sized tile pool, players had eight tiles at a time on their racks, as opposed to the standard seven. The letter distribution for this larger set is:

  • 2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
  • 1 point: E ×16, N ×10, I ×9, S ×8, R ×7, A ×6, D ×6, U ×6
  • 2 points: H ×5, T ×5, C ×4, L ×4, O ×4, G ×3, W ×2
  • 3 points: M ×4, F ×3, B ×2, K ×2, Z ×2
  • 4 points: P ×1, V ×1
  • 5 points: Ü ×1
  • 6 points: Ä ×1, J ×1
  • 8 points: Ö ×1, X ×1
  • 10 points: Q ×1, Y ×1

German sets marketed as Foreign Language Editions produced by Selchow and Righter had 100 tiles with the following distribution:

  • 2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
  • 1 point: E ×12, I ×8, N ×7, A ×6, S ×6, R ×5, T ×5, O ×3, U ×3
  • 2 points: C ×4, D ×4, H ×4, G ×3, L ×3, Ä ×1, Ö ×1, Ü ×1
  • 3 points: M ×3, B ×2, F ×2, K ×2, P ×2
  • 4 points: Z ×3, V ×2, W ×2
  • 8 points: J ×1
  • 10 points: Q ×1, X ×1, Y ×1

In the mid-1950s, licensed by James Brunot's Production and Marketing Company, the wooden-toy company J. Schowanek KG. of Piding (Bavaria), Germany produced the earliest German-language edition with a different 100-tile distribution:

  • 2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
  • 1 point: E ×14, I ×8, N ×8, A ×6, R ×6, S ×6, T ×6, O ×3, U ×3
  • 2 points: D ×4, G ×3, L ×3, Ä ×1, Ö ×1, Ü ×1
  • 3 points: H ×3, M ×3, B ×2, C ×2, F ×2, K ×2, P ×2
  • 4 points: V ×2, W ×2
  • 8 points: J ×1, Y ×1, Z ×1
  • 10 points: Q ×1, X ×1

In 2008, a German edition of the Mattel-licensed product, Super Scrabble, was released by the game publisher Piatnik. The set is composed of the following 200 tiles:

  • 4 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
  • 1 point: E ×29, N ×17, S ×14, I ×11, R ×11, T ×12, U ×12, A ×10, D ×8
  • 2 points: H ×8, G ×6, L ×6, O ×6
  • 3 points: M ×8, B ×4, W ×2, Z ×2
  • 4 points: C ×4, F ×4, K ×4, P ×2
  • 6 points: Ä ×2, J ×2, Ü ×2, V ×2
  • 8 points: Ö ×2, X ×2
  • 10 points: Q ×2, Y ×2

The underlines indicate the distribution contains one tile fewer for the letter than would be if the 102 tiles of the current language set were simply doubled.


Note that the quasi-letter ß (Eszett) is not used. This is because its capital version did not exist officially in standard German orthography prior to 2017 and the letter itself is unused in Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Instead, the character is substituted by SS. However, the umlauts Ä, Ö and Ü must not be replaced by AE, OE or UE when playing (as would usually be done in German crosswords where ß is also replaced by SS). Other diacritics, which may occur in some foreign words, are ignored (é = E, œ = OE etc.).[25]

  • 8 points: DZ ×1
  • 9 points: ZHR ×1
  • 10 points: B ×1, F ×1, M ×1

Grave accents are ignored. Digraphs and trigraphs can be played with multiple tiles. GHW, ND, NH, NJ, and RH are not included, as these digraphs and trigraphs are very rare in Gwichʼin. C, P, Q, and X are also absent because these letters are not used in Gwichʼin, or, in the case of C, outside the digraph CH. Arguably B, F, and M are not used in Gwichʼin either, but they are included as these letters are used for borrowed words.

X has no tile as it is only used in loanwords in Haitian Creole. C, Q and U are absent, since they are not used in Haitian Creole, or, in the case of C, outside the digraph CH, and U outside the digraphs OU and UI. This version is made for educational purposes and is not an official edition by Mattel.

This version is made for Hausa in Nigeria. In Niger, a Ƴ tile would be used instead of a 'Y tile. P has no tile, as it is only used in loanwords in Hausa and is very infrequent. SH has no tile because it is not a letter in all Hausa alphabets. , which was created to distinguish the two R phonemes, has no tile as the phonemes are not always distinguished by Hausa speakers. Q, V, and X have no tiles because these letters are not used at all in Hausa. This version is made for educational purposes and is not an official edition by Mattel.

B, C, D, F, G, J, Q, R, S, T, V, X, Y, and Z have no tiles as they are not used in Hawaiian. For the sake of the geocache this is connected to, the distribution had to be modified a bit. For example, there should be 28 A's, 7 E's, 11 K's, and 5 U's. The diacritical mark and the okina "'" are ignored.

  • 1 point: A ×6, E ×6, K ×6, T ×5, Á ×4, L ×4, N ×4, R ×4, I ×3, M ×3, O ×3, S ×3
  • 2 points: B ×3, D ×3, G ×3, Ó ×3
  • 3 points: É ×3, H ×2, SZ ×2, V ×2
  • 4 points: F ×2, GY ×2, J ×2, Ö ×2, P ×2, U ×2, Ü ×2, Z ×2

  • 7 points: CS ×1, Ő ×1, Ú ×1, Ű ×1
  • 8 points: LY ×1, ZS ×1
  • 10 points: TY ×1

DZ and DZS, which are fairly rare in Hungarian, have no tiles, nor do Q, W, X and Y (outside the digraphs "GY", "LY", "NY" and "TY"), which are only used in loanwords, as part of the extended Hungarian alphabet. You can still use a blank as a Q, W, X or Y, but not as DZ or DZS.

Earlier in 2016, to address a realized need for an improved letter ratio for the Icelandic-language, sets under the name Krafla, independent of the Scrabble brand, were produced and made available. For that year, this version was the version sanctioned by Iceland's Scrabble clubs for their tournaments. Netskrafl (meaning "Net Scrabble")[30] still uses the Krafla distribution. Krafla has the following 100 tiles:

  • 2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
  • 1 point: A ×11, R ×8, I ×7, N ×7, S ×7
  • 2 points: T ×6, U ×6, L ×5, Ð ×4, K ×4, M ×3

Originally, there was a 105-tile distribution with slightly different point values than the distribution before 2016 (and with 7 E's instead of 6):

  • 2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
  • 1 point: A ×10, I ×8, N ×8, E ×7, R ×7, S ×6, U ×6, T ×5
  • 2 points: Ð ×5, G ×4, L ×3

  • 8 points: É ×1, P ×1, Ú ×1, Ö ×1
  • 9 points: Ý ×1
  • 10 points: X ×1

Absent in all editions of Icelandic Scrabble are the letters C, Q, W and Z. None of these occur in Icelandic words and therefore may not be played with a blank.

An alternate set, proposed by Scrabble3D along with the official set,[34] was proposed to have these 100 tiles:

  • 2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
  • 1 point: A ×13, I ×10, N ×6, R ×6, E ×5, L ×5, O ×5, Í ×4, S ×4, T ×4

  • 5 points: B ×1, ×1
  • 8 points: P ×1, ×1
  • 10 points: ×1, ×1

Note that H is not in this set because it is only used at the beginning of the words starting with vowels, which is against the rules there. Note: This set uses the old orthography. In the new orthography, the dotted letters are replaced by the digraph of the letter without the dot followed by H.

Italian-language Scrabble (originally sold in Italy as Scarabeo, but that became a different game) applied a special rule that when a player exchanges tiles on his turn, he could request opponent to pass his turn. Both players have one chance each for one game. The sets consist of these 120 tiles:

  • 2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
  • 1 point: O ×15, A ×14, I ×12, E ×11
  • 2 points: C ×6, R ×6, S ×6, T ×6
  • 3 points: L ×5, M ×5, N ×5, U ×5
  • 5 points: B ×3, D ×3, F ×3, P ×3, V ×3
  • 8 points: G ×2, H ×2, Z ×2
  • 10 points: Q ×1

Diacritic marks are ignored. The letters K, W, X, and Y are absent since these letters do not exist in the standard Italian alphabet, although they are sometimes used in loanwords. J which only used in dialects of Italian, is also absent. However, you can still use a blank to represent these five absent letters. The set for Scalaparola uses these 120 tiles:

  • 2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
  • 1 point: A ×13, E ×13, I ×13, O ×13
  • 2 points: N ×6, R ×6, S ×6, T ×6
  • 3 points: L ×5, M ×5, U ×5
  • 4 points: C ×4, V ×4
  • 5 points: B ×3, D ×3, G ×3, P ×3
  • 8 points: F ×2, H ×2, Z ×2
  • 10 points: Q ×1

Scarabeo is an Italian variant of Scrabble that is much more popular in its native country than the original game. It is played with a 17×17 board, and uses these 130 tiles.[35] It was

  • 2 scarab tiles (wildcards) scoring 0 points

  • 10 points: x1, x1, ×1
  • 12 points: ×1

The obsolete letters and , the letter now exclusively used as a grammatical particle, and the lengthener have no tiles.

Words are played in "dictionary format":

  • Modified letters with the diacritics ゛ and ゜ , as well as the small letters (ぁぃぅぇぉっゃゅょゎ) are played as if they were not modified: e.g. ディスコ (disuko "disco") is played with the tiles ていすこ (te i su ko).
  • In addition, lengtheners are played by doubling the previous tile's vowel: e.g. ラーメン (rāmen ramen noodles) is played with the tiles らあめん (ra a me n).
  • These modifications are applied per word; that is, theoretically, the same tile can validly stand for horizontally, and vertically:
  • The words played are 言葉遣い (ことばかい kotobazukai) and 悪化 ( akka). The player is allowed to extend vertically into 扱う (かう atsukau).

This version was created by a student from Japan, and is not in wide circulation.

  • 8 points: tlh ×1
  • 10 points: ng ×1

The letter tiles may show Klingon symbols (pIqaD), their renderings in the English alphabet, or both. This is not an official version of the game, although Hasbro did create their own licensed "Star Trek Scrabble" game in which players can receive bonus points by playing Klingon words. "Star Trek Scrabble" uses standard English-language tiles.

There are three kinds of Latin-language Scrabble sets developed by three authorities in the language.

The first distribution, developed by the Centre for Medieval Studies of the University of Toronto, uses these 100 tiles:

  • 2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
  • 1 point: E ×12, A ×9, I ×9, V ×9, S ×8, T ×8, R ×7, O ×5
  • 2 points: C ×4, M ×4, N ×4, D ×3, L ×3
  • 3 points: Q ×3
  • 4 points: B ×2, G ×2, P ×2, X ×2
  • 8 points: F ×1, H ×1

An extension of the first distribution for Latin Paleography, developed by the Centre for Medieval Studies of the University of Toronto, uses these 120 tiles:

  • 3 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
  • 1 point: E ×12, A ×9, I ×9, V ×9, S ×8, T ×8, R ×7, O ×5
  • 2 points: C ×4, M ×4, N ×4, D ×3, L ×3, Ę ×2, Ē ×1, Ī ×1, œ ×1, ; ×1, ıı ×1, ııı ×1
  • 3 points: Q ×3, & ×2, ×1, ſt ×1, ×1
  • 4 points: B ×2, G ×2, P ×2, X ×2
  • 5 points: ct ×1, ×1, ×1
  • 6 points: ×1, ×1
  • 8 points: F ×1, H ×1
  • 10 points: Y ×1

The point value of is unknown, but it is believed to be 3. , which represents con, can only be played as the first tile of a word. , which represents rum, and ;, which represents is or us, can only be played as the last tile of a word. Ę (e caudata), also written as æ, represents ae. Ē represents em or en. & represents et. Ī represents im or in. œ represents oe. represents per, represents prae. represents pro. represents vm or vn (as there was no U at the time). Note that W, unlike Ę/æ and œ, which were created at the same time, has no tile because there is no vv digraph in Latin. ıı represents 2 minims: ii, v, or n. ııı represents 3 minims: iii, iv, in, vi, ni, or m.

The second distribution below was made "in conjunction with scholars from the University of Cambridge and elsewhere, together with the Cambridge Schools Classics Project." This distribution distinguishes U from V, with the semi-vocalic V scoring five times the points.

  • 2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
  • 1 point: E ×11, I ×11, A ×9, R ×9, S ×8, T ×7, U ×7, N ×6
  • 2 points: M ×5, O ×5, C ×4
  • 3 points: D ×3
  • 4 points: L ×2, P ×2
  • 5 points: B ×2, V ×2
  • 6 points: F ×1, G ×1, X ×1
  • 10 points: H ×1, Q ×1

The third distribution is as follows:[43]

  • 2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
  • 1 point: E ×12, I ×12, V ×10, A ×9, T ×8, S ×7, N ×6, R ×6, M ×5, O ×5, L ×3
  • 2 points: D ×3, P ×3
  • 3 points: C ×4, B ×2
  • 4 points: Q ×2, F ×1, G ×1, H ×1
  • 8 points: X ×1

However, with this set, according to the rules, if a blank is used as a Y it is worth 10 points, if a blank is used as a Z it is worth 15 points, and if a blank is used as a K it is worth 20 points. Each of those letters are so high in points, because they are used only in borrowed words. The score of 20 for a K is the highest known point value for any letter in any Scrabble score distribution worldwide. Y is absent in all sets except the paleographic extension of the first set because it is rare in Latin. K and Z are also absent in all sets because they are rare in Latin, while J is not considered separate from I in all sets except the third one, in which it is not included because it is rare in Latin. W is also absent in all sets because it did not exist in ancient times, and is used only in modern borrowed words.

The letters Ō, Ŗ, and the digraph UO and CH (which was only used in loanwords) are obsolete letters used in some dialects of Latvian, but are not used in the standard language, so are not included. Y, which is also used in some dialects of Latvian, is not used in the standard language, so is not included. Q, W, and X are absent, because they are not used in Latvian. F and H are present only in loanwords, but are considered part of standard Latvian, so they are included.

  • 10 points: GO ×1, VU ×1

The combination XO is absent as it is only used in 7 words (binxo, ganxo, jerxo, sirxo, xogji, xotli, and xo'u). The combination ZO is absent as it is only used in 7 words (brazo, kinzo, zo'a, zo'e, zo'i, zo'o, and zo'u). The combination 'Y is absent as it is only used in 1 word (.y'y). The letter . occurs in Lojban, but it is so infrequent that it has no tile. Blanks can be used to represent any of the above letters (including .) and digrams(including XO, ZO, and 'Y). The letter ' occurs in Lojban, but only in digrams and never as one letter. The letters H, Q, and W are absent, because these letters are not used in Lojban.

This is a handmade set and not an official edition by Mattel. The letters B, D, E, F, G, J, O, R, V and Z are not used in Nuxalk and therefore have no tiles. The 7 is included in the set because it is an actual letter in Nuxalk. It is used to replace ' if you don't have a tile ending with '. Arguably H and 7 do not exist in Nuxalk, but they are included as they are used for borrowed words, or in the case of 7, optionally at the beginning of a word.

Although Persian letters have up to four forms, Scrabble tiles use the isolated form. The pattern of using the isolated forms in composing words is also found in the Arabic Scrabble set and in Arabic crosswords and is one of the rare situations when Arabic letters are not connected to each other. This set was created by Scrabble3D and is not an official one.[52]

This set has been used since 2000. Before that year, a slightly different configuration was used: Ź was worth 7 points, F was worth 4 points, and there were 2 F's, and 8 A's.

Literaki, a Polish online Scrabble-based game, uses the same distribution, but the maximum number of points for a tile is 5.[54]

Alexander has released Scriba, which was based on the Swedish game Alfapet. The distribution has 108 tiles:[55]

  • 3 blank tiles (scoring 0 points), 2 black dot tiles (scoring 0 points), 3 arrow tiles (scoring 0 points)
  • 1 point: A ×7, E ×6, I ×6, O ×5
  • 2 points: T ×5, Z ×5, B ×4, N ×4, P ×4, R ×4, S ×4, Y ×4, D ×3, L ×3, M ×3, W ×3
  • 3 points: C ×3, F ×3, H ×3, K ×3, U ×2
  • 4 points: G ×3, Ł ×2
  • 6 points: Ó ×2, Ą ×1, Ś ×1
  • 7 points: Ć ×1
  • 8 points: Ę ×1, Ń ×1, Ż ×1, Ź ×1

The letters Q, V and X have always been absent (since they are used in foreign words), and blank tiles cannot be used to represent these.

Portuguese-language editions of Scrabble contain 120 tiles.

  • 3 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
  • 1 point: A ×14, E ×11, I ×10, O ×10, S ×8, U ×7, M ×6, R ×6, T ×5

  • 4 points: F ×2, G ×2, H ×2, V ×2
  • 5 points: J ×2
  • 6 points: Q ×1
  • 8 points: X ×1, Z ×1

While Ç is a separate tile, other diacritical marks are ignored. K, W, and Y are absent, since they are only present in loanwords in Portuguese, and were not even official letters until 2009.

Romanian-language editions of Scrabble use these 100 tiles.[56]

  • 2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
  • 1 point: I ×11, A ×10, E ×9, T ×7, N ×6, R ×6, S ×6, C ×5, L ×5, U ×5
  • 2 points: O ×5, P ×4
  • 3 points: D ×4
  • 4 points: M ×3, F ×2, V ×2
  • 5 points: B ×2
  • 6 points: G ×2
  • 8 points: H ×1, Z ×1
  • 10 points: J ×1, X ×1

Some amendment applied in updated version. Previously, the B was worth 8, and the O was worth 1. [57]

The original (1982) distribution used the following 100 tiles:

  • 2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
  • 1 point: A ×11, I ×10, E ×9, R ×7, T ×7, N ×6, U ×6, C ×5, O ×5, S ×5, L ×4
  • 2 points: D ×4, P ×4
  • 4 points: M ×3
  • 8 points: F ×2, V ×2
  • 9 points: B ×2, G ×2
  • 10 points: H ×1, J ×1, X ×1, Z ×1

Diacritical marks are ignored, so for example à and  are played as A. Both distributions lack K, Q, W and Y, since they are only used in foreign words. However, you can still use a blank to represent these letters. Arguably X does not exist in Romanian either, but it is included as it is used for borrowed words.

  • 10 points: NG ×1

The distribution was modified a bit (Dropping NG because it is too rare, but adding more A, E, and I tiles, and changing the number of tiles to 100)

H is absent because it is only used in the digraphs above. Á, É, and Ó are absent since they are rarely used in the Scottish Gaelic language. J, K, Q, V, W, X, Y, and Z are absent since they are not used in the Scottish Gaelic language. This version is used by Scrabble3D and is not an official edition by Mattel.

  • 10 points: Ä ×1, Ĺ ×1, Ó ×1, Ŕ ×1, X ×1

Q, W, Ě, Ö, Ř, and Ü are absent because they are only used in loanwords, but may be represented with a blank. The letter X is also only used in loanwords, but it is not so rare, so it is included. The digraphs CH, DZ, and , although considered single letters in the Slovak alphabet, are played as pairs of letters.

Since 2013, a new 112-tile set was introduced, including the letters Q and W:

  • 2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
  • 1 point: O x 10, A x 9, E x 8, I x 6, N x 5, S x 5, V x 5, T x 4
  • 2 points: R x 5, K x 4, L x 4, D x 3, M x 3, P x 3, U x 3, Á x 2, B x 2, J x 2, Y x 2, Z x 2
  • 3 points: C x 1, Č x 1, É x 1, H x 1, Í x 1, Š x 1, Ú x 1, Ý x 1, Ž x 1

  • 8 points: Ä x 1, Ď x 1, Ó x 1
  • 9 points: Ĺ x 1, Ŕ x 1, X x 1
  • 10 points: Q x 1, W x 1

Slovenský spolok Scrabble does not recommend using this new version, because the letters and their point values do not correspond to their frequency in Slovak.[60]

Spanish-language sets sold outside North America use these 100 tiles:

  • 2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
  • 1 point: A ×12, E ×12, O ×9, I ×6, S ×6, N ×5, R ×5, U ×5, L ×4, T ×4
  • 2 points: D ×5, G ×2
  • 3 points: C ×4, B ×2, M ×2, P ×2
  • 4 points: H ×2, F ×1, V ×1, Y ×1
  • 5 points: CH ×1, Q ×1
  • 8 points: J ×1, LL ×1, Ñ ×1, RR ×1, X ×1
  • 10 points: Z ×1

Stress accents and diaereses are disregarded. The letters K and W are absent since these two letters are only used in words of foreign origin. According to FISE (Federación Internacional de Scrabble en Español) rules, a blank cannot be used to represent K or W.

Using one C and one H tile in place of the CH tile, two L tiles for the LL tile, or two R tiles for the RR tile is also not allowed in Spanish Scrabble.[61]

Spanish-language sets sold within North America (known as Scrabble – Edición en Español) use - including "K" and "W" but without "CH" - these 103 tiles:

  • 2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
  • 1 point: A ×11, E ×11, O ×8, S ×7, I ×6, U ×6, N ×5, L ×4, R ×4, T ×4
  • 2 points: C ×4, D ×4, G ×2
  • 3 points: B ×3, M ×3, P ×2
  • 4 points: F ×2, H ×2, V ×2, Y ×1
  • 6 points: J ×2
  • 8 points: K ×1, LL ×1, Ñ ×1, Q ×1, RR ×1, W ×1, X ×1
  • 10 points: Z ×1

Stress accents are still disregarded.

Spanish-language sets sold within Latin America under the name Escarbar (a Spanish word for Scrabble) - including "K" and "CH" but without "RR" and "W" - use these 106 tiles:

  • 2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
  • 1 point: E ×12, A ×9, I ×9, O ×8, N ×6, R ×6, T ×6, L ×4, S ×4, U ×4, Ñ ×3
  • 2 points: D ×4, G ×3, B ×2
  • 3 points: C ×2, M ×2, P ×2
  • 4 points: CH ×2, LL ×3, F ×2, H ×2, V ×2, Y ×2
  • 5 points: K ×1
  • 8 points: J ×1, X ×1
  • 10 points: Q ×1, Z ×1

An unofficial practice in some variants of Spanish Scrabble is the permit of words with QU to be played with the Q and with or without the following U. This variant practice eliminates the Q-without-U difficulty that may otherwise occur.

A full Swedish Scrabble set.

Swedish-language Scrabble sets (until 1990 sold in Sweden as Alfapet, but that became a different game) use these 100 tiles:

  • 2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
  • 1 point: A ×8, R ×8, S ×8, T ×8, E ×7, N ×6, D ×5, I ×5, L ×5
  • 2 points: O ×5, G ×3, K ×3, M ×3, H ×2
  • 3 points: F ×2, V ×2, Ä ×2
  • 4 points: U ×3, B ×2, P ×2, Ö ×2, Å ×2
  • 7 points: J ×1, Y ×1
  • 8 points: C ×1, X ×1
  • 10 points: Z ×1

Å, Ä and Ö have separate tiles; other diacritics like that on É are ignored (except Ü). Q and W, found only in loanwords, are absent but can be played with a blank. Ü and Æ require a blank, and as of 2010 only occur in one and three playable words respectively: müsli and three forms of Laestadianism (læstadianism in Swedish).

Originally (starting in 1954), Swedish Scrabble sets (called Alfa-pet, made by the Swedish company Alga, a member of the BRIO Group) used a slightly different distribution:

  • 2 points: O ×5, G ×3, K ×3, M ×3, H ×2
  • 3 points: F ×2, V ×2, Ä ×2
  • 4 points: U ×3, B ×2, P ×2, Ö ×2, Å ×2
  • 7 points: J ×1, Y ×1
  • 8 points: X ×1
  • 10 points: C ×1

Note that Z was absent in this distribution as it is almost exclusively used in loanwords. However, it could be played with a blank.

Between 1956 and 1961, the makers of Alfa-pet revised the distribution, altering the number of tiles for the letters B, E, N, O, P, S, and U. The letter C was reduced in value to 5 and the X was increased to 10:

  • 4 points: U ×2, Ö ×2, Å ×2, B ×1, P ×1
  • 5 points: C ×1
  • 7 points: J ×1, Y ×1
  • 10 points: X ×1

Circa 1961, the hyphen was dropped from the game's name, and the original Swedish distribution of the game had been restored. Sometime later, produced under BRIO's subsidiary, Joker, the number of Ts in the set were reduced by one and an 8-point Z tile was added.

Though Alga had lost its license to Mattel Europa in the early 1990s in the production of the game, the company held onto its ownership of the name Alfapet. subsequently it produced a different yet similar crossword board game. Played on a different grid layout, this game is played with a distribution which contains these 120 tiles, with Q but not W:

  • 2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points), 2 black tiles (scoring 0 points), 2 left-pointing arrows, 2 right-pointing arrows
  • 1 point: A ×9, R ×9, E ×8, S ×8, D ×7, L ×7, N ×7, T ×7, I ×6
  • 2 points: O ×5, G ×4
  • 3 points: H ×3, K ×3, M ×3, P ×3, U ×3
  • 4 points: B ×2, F ×2, V ×2, Ä ×2, Ö ×2, Å ×2
  • 8 points: C ×2, Y ×2, J ×1
  • 10 points: Q ×1, X ×1, Z ×1

The black tile may be put in front of a word to create another word adjacent to the black tile and thus diagonally away from the original word. The arrows lets the player change the direction of a word anywhere between the first and last letter of the word, and are always placed under letters. Anyway, Q is only used in loanwords in modern Swedish, so it is included.

  • 8 points: F ×1, P ×1, U ×1, Y ×1
  • 10 points: J ×1

The letters C, Q, V, X, and Z have no tiles as these letters are rarely used in Tswana. However, they can still be played with a blank. Diacritical marks are ignored. This version is hand-made and is not an official edition by Mattel.

  • 5 points: G ×1, H ×1, P ×1
  • 7 points: F ×1, Ö ×1, V ×1
  • 8 points: Ğ ×1
  • 10 points: J ×1

Since the letters Â, Î, and Û are considered modified versions of their base forms in Turkish, they are played as A, İ, and U, respectively. The letters Q, W, and X are not used in Turkish and therefore do not appear in the set. Blanks may not represent these letters.

The box for Welsh-language Scrabble sets.

Welsh-language Scrabble sets use these 105 tiles:

  • 2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
  • 1 point: A ×10, E ×8, N ×8, I ×7, R ×7, Y ×7, D ×6, O ×6, W ×5, DD ×4
  • 2 points: F ×3, G ×3, L ×3, U ×3
  • 3 points: S ×3, B ×2, M ×2, T ×2
  • 4 points: C ×2, FF ×2, H ×2, TH ×2
  • 5 points: CH ×1, LL ×1, P ×1
  • 8 points: J ×1
  • 10 points: NG ×1, RH ×1

Since there are specific tiles for the digraphs that are considered to be separate letters in Welsh orthography (such as DD), it is not permissible to use the individual letters to spell these out. Diacritics on letters are ignored.

The digraph PH also exists in Welsh, but is omitted because it is used almost exclusively in mutated words, which the rules disallow. K, Q, V, X and Z do not exist in Welsh. J does not exist in traditional Welsh either, but it is included as it is used in some borrowed words.
