Scrabble letter distributions 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. 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
Scrabble letter distributions 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. "K", "W", and "Y" are absent because they are only used in loanwords or, in the case of "Y", the digraph "NY". Blanks cannot be used to represent "K", "W", or "Y". There is a Catalan Scrabble clone which uses the same 21x21 board as Super Scrabble. Croatian-language Scrabble sets use the following 103 tiles: "Q", "W", "X" and "Y" are not included, as Croatian does
