Tile tracking or 'consonant-heavy', how many S's or blanks are unseen, if an opponent is likely to have a bingo on their rack, or which tiles to play or conserve. For example, if Alice has the option of playing J(I)NN or J(I)LL, and four N's and zero L's remain unseen, then assuming both plays are otherwise equal (in terms of score, openings for the opponent), J(I)NN is likely the better play. Letter frequency lists for both Scrabble and Words with Friends are easily accessible (some versions of Scrabble have the tile distribution directly on the board) and, unlike word lists, using them
Scrabble letter distributions 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: 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 "T"s in the set were reduced by one and an 8-point "Z" tile was added. In 2002, under the ownership of Mattel and its brand name Scrabble, the Swedish language set tile values of the "C" and "Z" were changed, respectively, to 8
