Scrabble ''Scrabble'' is a word game in which two to four players score points by placing tiles, each bearing a single letter, onto a Board game, game board divided into a 15×15 grid of squares. The tiles must form words that, in crossword fashion, re ...
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. Most languages use sets of 100 tiles, since the original distribution of ninety-eight 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. Several online tools exist for counting tiles during friendly play.

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, N ×7, O ×6, S ×6, T ×6, R ×5, L ×4, U ×2 *''2 points'': D ×6, G ×4 *''3 points'': B ×2, P ×2, M ×1 *''4 points'': H ×3, F ×2, 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''.

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 in 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. The ligature لا is played as two individual tiles: ل and ا.

'' 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, and loanwords containing ''K'' and ''W'' are simply not played. 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. 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. 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 *''10 points'': NY ×2, X ×2 *''12 points'': Ç ×2 *''15 points'': L·L ×1


Croatian

Croatian-language Scrabble sets use the following 103 tiles: *2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points) *''1 point'': A ×11, I ×10, E ×9, O ×9, N ×6, R ×5, S ×5, T ×5, J ×4, U ×4 *''2 points'': K ×3, M ×3, P ×3, V ×3 *''3 points'': D ×3, G ×2, L ×2, Z ×2, B ×1, C ×1 *''4 points'': Č ×1, H ×1, LJ ×1, NJ ×1, Š ×1, Ž ×1 *''5 points'': Ć ×1 *''8 points'': F ×1 *''10 points'': DŽ ×1, Đ ×1 ''Q'', ''W'', ''X'' and ''Y'' are not included, as Croatian does not use those letters. Playing ''D'' and ''Ž'' in place of ''DŽ'' and ''L'' or ''N'' in front of ''J'' in place of ''LJ'' and ''NJ'' respectively is not allowed.

''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); ''CH'' is instead played as two distinct letters C and H. Prior to 1993, there was no official Czech Scrabble. Instead, there was a Scrabble clone called ''Pismenkovka'' which was created in the 1970s, which had a ''CH'' tile. Pismenkovka sets contain these tiles: *2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points) *''1 point'': A ×6, O ×6, E ×5, S ×5, I ×4, K ×4, L ×4, R ×4, N ×3, P ×3, T ×3, V ×3, Y ×3 *''2 points'': M ×3, U ×3, Á ×2, B ×2, D ×2, Í ×2, J ×2 *''3 points'': C ×2, H ×2, Š ×2, Z ×2 *''4 points'': Č ×2, CH ×2, Ř ×2, Ž ×2 *''5 points'': Ě ×2, É ×1, Ů ×1, Ý ×1 *''6 points'': Ň ×1, Ť ×1, Ú ×1 *''8 points'': Ď ×1, F ×1, G ×1 *''10 points'': Ó ×1, X ×1 Originally this set did not include an ''X'' tile (because it is only used in loanwords) and instead had a seventh ''O'' tile. KrisKros Klasik has a similar distribution, but it includes 4 T tiles and 2 ''X'' tiles.

Danish-language Scrabble sets use these 100 tiles: *2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points) *''1 point'': E ×9, A ×7, N ×6, R ×6 *''2 points'': D ×5, L ×5, O ×5, S ×5, T ×5 *''3 points'': B ×4, I ×4, K ×4, F ×3, G ×3, M ×3, U ×3, V ×3 *''4 points'': H ×2, J ×2, P ×2, Y ×2, Æ ×2, Ø ×2, Å ×2 *''8 points'': C ×2, X ×1, Z ×1 The distribution lacks ''Q'' and ''W'', which are very rare and only occur in foreign words. ''C'', ''X'', and ''Z'' also only occur in foreign words, but they are not so rare, so they were included. ''Q'' and ''W'' can be played with a blank.


Dutch

Dutch-language editions consist of the following 102 tiles: *2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points) *''1 point'': E ×18, N ×10, A ×6, O ×6, I ×4 *''2 points'': D ×5, R ×5, S ×5, T ×5 *''3 points'': G ×3, K ×3, L ×3, M ×3, B ×2, P ×2 *''4 points'': U ×3, F ×2, H ×2, J ×2, V ×2, Z ×2 *''5 points'': C ×2, W ×2 *''8 points'': X ×1, Y ×1 *''10 points'': Q ×1 Before March 1998, there was a difference between the Dutch and the Flemish version: the Dutch version had 2 IJ tiles with a value of 4 points. Furthermore, it had only 1 F and only 4 S tiles. 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 and did not contain the rarely used letter Y: *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 *''4 points'': J ×2, K ×2, U ×2, V ×2, W ×2 *''5 points'': F ×1 *''6 points'': Z ×2 *''8 points'': X ×1, Y ×1 *''10 points'': Q ×1

Arguably F, Š, Z and Ž do not exist either, but they were included so that loanwords can be played.


Faroese

Faroese-language editions, created in 2010 as "Krossorðaspæl", consist of the following 102 tiles: *2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points) *''1 point'': A ×10, I ×10, E ×7, N ×7, R ×7, T ×7, S ×5, U ×5 *''2 points'': Ð ×4, G ×4, K ×4, L ×4, V ×4 *''3 points'': M ×3 *''4 points'': D ×2, F ×2, H ×2, O ×2 *''5 points'': Á ×1 *''6 points'': B ×1, Í ×1, J ×1, Ó ×1, Ú ×1 *''7 points'': Y ×1, Ø ×1 *''8 points'': P ×1, Ý ×1, Æ ×1 An earlier, unofficial, Faroese-language edition consisted of the following 106 tiles: *2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points) *''1 point'': A ×11, I ×10, N ×8, R ×8, T ×7, E ×6, S ×5, U ×5 *''2 points'': G ×4, K ×4, L ×4, M ×4, V ×4 *''3 points'': Ð ×3, O ×3, F ×2, H ×2 *''4 points'': B ×2, D ×2 *''5 points'': Í ×1, J ×1, P ×1, Y ×1 *''6 points'': Á ×1, Ó ×1, Ø ×1 *''8 points'': Æ ×1, Ú ×1 *''10 points'': Ý ×1 ''C'', ''Q'', ''W'', ''X'', and ''Z'' are absent since these letters are not used in modern standard Faroese.


Finnish

Finnish-language sets use these 101 tiles: *2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points) *''1 point'': A ×10, I ×10, N ×9, T ×9, E ×8, S ×7 *''2 points'': K ×5, L ×5, O ×5, Ä ×5 *''3 points'': U ×4, M ×3 *''4 points'': H ×2, J ×2, P ×2, R ×2, V ×2, Y ×2 *''7 points'': D ×1, Ö ×1 *''8 points'': B ×1, F ×1, G ×1, W ×1 *''10 points'': C ×1 This distribution lacks ''Q'', ''Š'', ''X'', ''Z'', ''Ž'', and ''Å'', since they are virtually absent in Finnish. ''W'' was not originally present in the distribution, but it was added by 2019. Arguably ''B'', ''C'', ''F'', ''G'' (outside the digraph ''NG''), and ''W'' do not exist in Finnish either, but they are included as they are used for borrowed words, and ''F'' in some western dialects. Before 2019, a distribution without the W and with 100 tiles was used: *2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points) *''1 point'': A ×10, I ×10, N ×9, T ×9, E ×8, S ×7 *''2 points'': K ×5, L ×5, O ×5, Ä ×5 *''3 points'': U ×4, M ×3 *''4 points'': H ×2, J ×2, P ×2, R ×2, V ×2, Y ×2 *''7 points'': D ×1, Ö ×1 *''8 points'': B ×1, F ×1, G ×1 *''10 points'': C ×1 A variant called Alfapet (originally the name of Swedish Scrabble), contains 108 tiles: *2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points), 2 black tiles (scoring 0 points), 2 left-pointing arrows, 2 right-pointing arrows *''1 point'': A ×9, I ×9, T ×9, N ×8, E ×7, S ×7, K ×6, L ×6, O ×6 *''2 points'': M ×5, U ×5, Ä ×5, P ×4, R ×4, V ×4 *''3 points'': H ×3, J ×3, Y ×3 *''4 points'': D ×2, Ö ×2, G ×1 *''6 points'': B ×1, F ×1 *''8 points'': C ×1 The old Alfapet distribution was as follows: *2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points), 2 black tiles (scoring 0 points), 2 left-pointing arrows, 2 right-pointing arrows *''1 point'': A ×10, T ×10, I ×8, N ×8, E ×7, S ×7, Ä ×6 *''2 points'': D ×5, K ×5, L ×5, O ×5, R ×5, U ×5, M ×4 *''3 points'': B ×3, G ×3 *''4 points'': F ×2, H ×2, J ×2, P ×2, V ×2, Ö ×2 *''8 points'': C ×2, Y ×2

Hungarian

Hungarian-language sets use these 100 tiles: *2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points) *''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 *''5 points'': C ×1, Í ×1, NY ×1 *''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

. You can still use a blank as a ''Q'', ''W'', ''X'' or ''Y'', but not as ''DZ'' or ''DZS''. Using a ''D'' tile and a ''Z'' tile to make ''DZ'' or putting together ''D'', ''Z'' and ''S'' or ''D'' and ''ZS'' to make ''DZS'' is not allowed, meaning words with these two letters are simply not playable. Using a blank (as ''Y'') in front of ''G'', ''L'', ''N'' or ''T'' to make ''GY'', ''LY'', ''NY'' or ''TY'' is also not allowed.


Icelandic

In 2016, Tinderbox games under license from Mattel produced Icelandic-language sets using these 104 tiles: *2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points) *''1 point'': A ×10, N ×8, R ×8, I ×7, E ×6, S ×6, U ×6, T ×5 *''2 points'': Ð ×4, G ×4, L ×4 *''3 points'': M ×4, F ×3, K ×3, *''4 points'': Á ×2, D ×2, H ×2, Í ×2, O ×2, V ×2 *''5 points'': Þ ×1 *''6 points'': B ×1, J ×1, Ó ×1, Y ×1, Æ ×1 *''8 points'': É ×1, P ×1, Ú ×1, Ö ×1 *''9 points'': Ý ×1 *''10 points'': X ×1 Earlier in 2016, to address a realized need for an improved letter distribution for the Icelandic-language, sets under the name Krafla, independent of the Scrabble brand, were produced and made available. From that year, this version has been sanctioned by Iceland's Scrabble clubs for their tournaments and for the national championship. Netskrafl (meaning "Net Scrabble"), a popular online crossword game website, supports 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 *''3 points'': E ×3, F ×3, G ×3, Á ×2, Ó ×2 *''4 points'': Æ ×2, H ×1, Í ×1, Ú ×1 *''5 points'': B ×1, D ×1, O ×1, P ×1, V ×1, Ý ×1 *''6 points'': J ×1, Y ×1, Ö ×1 *''7 points'': É ×1, Þ ×1 *''10 points'': X ×1 Before 2016, Icelandic-language sets used these 104 tiles: *2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points) *''1 point'': A ×10, I ×8, N ×8, R ×7, E ×6, S ×6, U ×6, T ×5 *''2 points'': Ð ×5, G ×4, K ×3, L ×3, M ×3 *''3 points'': F ×3, O ×3, H ×2, V ×2 *''4 points'': Á ×2, D ×2, Í ×2, Þ ×1 *''5 points'': J ×1, Æ ×1 *''6 points'': B ×1, É ×1, Ó ×1 *''7 points'': Y ×1, Ö ×1 *''8 points'': P ×1, Ú ×1 *''9 points'': Ý ×1 *''10 points'': X ×1 Originally, there were 105 tiles in this set, as there were 7 E's instead of 6. ''C'', ''Q'' and ''W'' are absent in all distributions since Icelandic does not use those letters. ''Z'' is also absent in all sets due to having been obsolete since the 1970s.


Indonesian

Indonesian-language sets use these 100 tiles: *2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points) *''1 point'': A ×19, N ×9, E ×8, I ×8, T ×5, U ×5, R ×4, O ×3, S ×3 *''2 points'': K ×3, M ×3 *''3 points'': D ×4, G ×3 *''4 points'': L ×3, H ×2, P ×2 *''5 points'': B ×4, Y ×2, F ×1, V ×1 *''8 points'': C ×3, W ×1 *''10 points'': J ×1, Z ×1 ''Q'', and ''X'', are absent because they are only present in loanwords and are very rare. ''F'', ''V'', and ''Z'' are also present only in loanwords, but they are not very rare, so they are included.


Irish

Irish-language sets, created in 2010, use these 100 tiles: *2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points) *''1 point'': A ×13, H ×10, I ×10, N ×7, R ×7, E ×6, S ×6 *''2 points'': C ×4, D ×4, L ×4, O ×4, T ×4, G ×3, U ×3 *''4 points'': Á ×2, F ×2, Í ×2, M ×2 *''8 points'': É ×1, Ó ×1, Ú ×1 *''10 points'': B ×1, P ×1 ''J'', ''K'', ''Q'', ''V'', ''W'', ''X'', ''Y'', and ''Z'' are absent since they do not belong to the standard Irish alphabet, although they are sometimes used in loanwords. An alternate set, proposed by Scrabble3D along with the official set, 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 *''2 points'': Á ×4, C ×3, Ċ ×3, D ×3, M ×3, G ×2 *''3 points'': F ×2, Ó ×2, Ṫ ×1 *''4 points'': U ×2, Ḃ ×1, Ḋ ×1, É ×1, Ġ ×1, Ú ×1 *''5 points'': B ×1, Ṁ ×1 *''8 points'': P ×1, Ṡ ×1 *''10 points'': Ḟ ×1, Ṗ ×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. Shortly after, the Scrabble3D distribution underwent a major revision (still has 100 tiles): *2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points) *''1 point'': A ×11, I ×8, Á ×5, Í ×5, L ×5, N ×5, R ×5, E ×4, O ×4, S ×4 *''2 points'': C ×3, Ċ ×3, D ×3, G ×3, M ×3, Ó ×3, T ×3, Ú ×3 *''3 points'': B ×2, Ḃ ×2, É ×2, Ṫ ×2, U ×2 *''4 points'': Ḋ ×1, F ×1, Ġ ×1 *''5 points'': Ṁ ×1 *''8 points'': P ×1, Ṡ ×1 *''10 points'': Ḟ ×1, Ṗ ×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.

-language Scrabble applied a special rule that when a player exchanges tiles on their turn, they 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 ''J'', ''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. However, you can still use a blank to represent these five absent letters. Prior to the 1980s, Italian scrabble was called "Scalaparola", and the sets included 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: *2 scarab tiles (wildcards) scoring 0 points *''1 point'': A ×12, E ×12, I ×12, O ×12, C ×7, R ×7, S ×7, T ×7 *''2 points'': L ×6, M ×6, N ×6 *''3 points'': P ×4 *''4 points'': B ×4, D ×4, F ×4, G ×4, U ×4, V ×4 *''8 points'': H ×2, Z ×2 *''10 points'': Q ×2 In 1948, Selchow & Righter released their Foreign Language Edition of Italian with the following 120-tile distribution: *2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points) *''1 point'': A ×10, E ×10, I ×10, O ×10, R ×7, S ×7, T ×7 *''2 points'': C ×6, N ×6, L ×5 *''3 points'': M ×5, D ×4, P ×4 *''4 points'': B ×4, F ×4, G ×4, U ×4, V ×4 *''8 points'': Z ×3, H ×2 *''10 points'': Q ×2 By 1976, the distribution was changed to match Scalaparola.

-language Scrabble sets developed by four authorities in the language. The official distribution 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 second distribution, developed by the Centre for Medieval Studies of the

''Ↄ'', which represents con, can only be played as the first tile of a word. ''Ꝝ'', 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. ''Ꝑ'' represents per, ''P̄'' represents prae. ''Ꝓ'' represents pro. ''V̄'' 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 third distribution is as follows: * 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. The fourth distribution, which uses ''U'' instead of ''V'', and includes ''Y'', is as follows: * 2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points) *''1 point'': E ×10, A ×9, I ×9, S ×9, T ×9, U ×9 *''2 points'': M ×6, N ×6, O ×6, R ×6 *''3 points'': C ×4, D ×4, L ×4, P ×4 *''8 points'': B ×2, F ×2, G ×2, H ×2, Q ×2 *''10 points'': X ×1, Y ×1 ''Y'' is absent in all sets except the paleographic extension of the first set and the fourth set because it is rare in Latin. ''K'' and ''Z'' are 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.


Latvian

Latvian-language sets use these 104 tiles: *2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points) *1 point: A ×11, I ×9, S ×8, E ×6, T ×6, R ×5, U ×5 *2 points: Ā ×4, K ×4, M ×4, N ×4, L ×3, P ×3 *3 points: D ×3, O ×3, V ×3, Z ×2 *4 points: Ē ×2, Ī ×2, J ×2 *5 points: B ×1, C ×1, G ×1 *6 points: Ņ ×1, Š ×1, Ū ×1 *8 points: Ļ ×1, Ž ×1 *10 points: Č ×1, F ×1, Ģ ×1, H ×1, Ķ ×1 ''Q'', ''W'', and ''X'' are absent because they are not used in modern Latvian. ''Y'' is absent because it is only used in certain dialects of Latvian. ''F'' and ''H'' are present only in loanwords, but are considered part of standard Latvian, so they are included.


Lithuanian

Lithuanian-language sets use these 104 tiles: *2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points) *''1 point'': I ×13, A ×12, S ×8, O ×6, T ×6, E ×5, N ×5, R ×5, K ×4, U ×4 *''2 points'': D ×3, L ×3, M ×3, B ×1 *''3 points'': P ×3 *''4 points'': Ė ×2, G ×2, J ×2, V ×2 *''5 points'': Š ×1, Y ×1 *''6 points'': Ų ×1, Ž ×1 *''8 points'': Ą ×1, Č ×1, Į ×1, Ū ×1 *''10 points'': C ×1, Ę ×1, F ×1, H ×1, Z ×1 The letters ''Q'', ''W'' and ''X'' are absent, because they are not used in Lithuanian. ''F'' and ''H'' are present only in loanwords, but are considered part of standard Lithuanian, so they are included. The distribution for the older, unofficial, KrisKros Klasik is as follows: *2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points) *''1 point'': I ×11, A ×9, R ×9, E ×6, L ×6, S ×6, O ×5, T ×5, U ×5, N ×4, Ą ×1 *''2 points'': K ×4, D ×3, M ×3, P ×3, B ×2, G ×2, Ę ×1 *''3 points'': Ė ×2, Š ×2, Ų ×1 *''4 points'': J ×2, Į ×1, V ×1, Ž ×1 *''5 points'': Ū ×1, Z ×1 *''6 points'': Y ×1 *''7 points'': C ×1, Č ×1 *''10 points'': F ×1, H ×1


Malagasy

Malagasy-language sets use these 102 tiles: *2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points) *''1 point'': A ×20, O ×14, N ×13, I ×11, T ×6, K ×5, E ×4, S ×4, Y ×4 *''2 points'': F ×2, M ×2, V ×2 *''3 points'': D ×2, L ×2 *''4 points'': B ×2, P ×2 *''6 points'': H ×1, J ×1, R ×1, Z ×1 *''10 points'': G ×1 ''C'', ''Q'', ''U'', ''W,'' and ''X'' are absent because these letters are not used in Malagasy. Diacritical marks are ignored.


Malay

Malay-language sets use these 100 tiles: *2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points) *''1 point'': A ×19, N ×8, E ×7, I ×7, K ×6, U ×6, M ×5, R ×5, T ×5 *''2 points'': L ×4, S ×4 *''3 points'': G ×4, B ×3, D ×3 *''4 points'': H ×2, O ×2, P ×2 *''5 points'': J ×1, Y ×1 *''8 points'': C ×1, W ×1 *''10 points'': F ×1, Z ×1 ''Q'', ''V'' and ''X'' are absent because they are only present in loanwords. So are ''F'' and ''Z'', but these two are not so rare.


Norwegian

Norwegian-language editions of Scrabble use these 100 tiles: *2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points) *''1 point'': E ×9, A ×7, N ×6, R ×6, S ×6, T ×6, D ×5, I ×5, L ×5 *''2 points'': F ×4, G ×4, K ×4, O ×4, M ×3 *''3 points'': H ×3 *''4 points'': B ×3, U ×3, V ×3, J ×2, P ×2, Å ×2 *''5 points'': Ø ×2 *''6 points'': Y ×1, Æ ×1 *''8 points'': W ×1 *''10 points'': C ×1 The letters ''Q'', ''X'' and ''Z'' are absent since these letters are very rare and only occur in foreign words. These letters and the foreign letters "Ä", "Ö" and "Ü", which are used in a few Norwegian words, can be played with a blank. ''C'' and ''W'' also occur only in foreign words, but they are not so rare, so they were included.


Polish

Polish-language editions of Scrabble use these 100 tiles: *2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points) *''1 point'': A ×9, I ×8, E ×7, O ×6, N ×5, Z ×5, R ×4, S ×4, W ×4 *''2 points'': Y ×4, C ×3, D ×3, K ×3, L ×3, M ×3, P ×3, T ×3 *''3 points'': B ×2, G ×2, H ×2, J ×2, Ł ×2, U ×2 *''5 points'': Ą ×1, Ę ×1, F ×1, Ó ×1, Ś ×1, Ż ×1 *''6 points'': Ć ×1 *''7 points'': Ń ×1 *''9 points'': Ź ×1 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. Alexander has released Scriba, which was based on the Swedish game Alfapet. The distribution has 108 tiles: * 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, J ×2, 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). Blank tiles cannot be used to represent these except on the Internet Scrabble Club.


Portuguese

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 *''2 points'': D ×5, L ×5, C ×4, P ×4 *''3 points'': N ×4, B ×3, Ç ×2 *''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.

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 ''Â'' is 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. The letter ''X'' is also used only in loanwords and a few native words, but it is not so rare, so it is included.

''J'', ''K'', ''Q'', ''V'', ''W'', ''X'', ''Y'', and ''Z'' are absent since they are not used in the Scottish Gaelic language. Scrabble3D originally planned to use these 104 tiles in an unofficial distribution, planned earlier: *2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points) *''1 point'': A ×14, E ×9, I ×9, N ×4, O ×4, R ×4, S ×4 *''2 points'': CH ×4, D ×4, DH ×4, L ×4, U ×3, BH ×2 *''3 points'': C ×3, G ×3, T ×3, TH ×3, B ×2, M ×2 *''4 points'': NN ×2 *''5 points'': À ×2, GH ×2, F ×1, FH ×1, MH ×1 *''6 points'': È ×1, Ì ×1, Ò ×1, P ×1, Ù ×1 *''8 points'': LL ×1, RR ×1 *''10 points'': NG ×1 The distribution was modified a bit (Dropping ''NG'' due to its rarity, adding more ''A'', ''E'', and ''I'' tiles, and changing the number of tiles to 100).

Slovak

Slovak-language sets use these 100 tiles: *2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points) *''1 point'': A ×9, O ×9, E ×8, I ×5, N ×5, R ×4, S ×4, T ×4, V ×4 *''2 points'': M ×4, D ×3, K ×3, L ×3, P ×3 *''3 points'': J ×2, U ×2 *''4 points'': B ×2, Á ×1, C ×1, H ×1, Y ×1, Z ×1 *''5 points'': Č ×1, Í ×1, Š ×1, Ý ×1, Ž ×1 *''7 points'': É ×1, Ľ ×1, Ť ×1, Ú ×1 *''8 points'': Ď ×1, F ×1, G ×1, Ň ×1, Ô ×1 *''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 ''DŽ'', 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 ×10, A ×9, E ×8, I ×6, N ×5, S ×5, V ×5, T ×4 *''2 points'': R ×5, K ×4, L ×4, D ×3, M ×3, P×3, U ×3, Á ×2, B ×2, J ×2, Y ×2, Z ×2 *''3 points'': C ×1, Č ×1, É ×1, H ×1, Í ×1, Š ×1, Ú ×1, Ý ×1, Ž ×1 *''4 points'': Ť ×1 *''5 points'': Ľ ×1 *''6 points'': F ×1, G ×1 *''7 points'': Ň ×1, Ô ×1 *''8 points'': Ä ×1, Ď ×1, Ó ×1 *''9 points'': Ĺ ×1, Ŕ ×1, X ×1 *''10 points'': Q ×1, W ×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. Arguably the ''Q'' and ''W'' tiles should still not be included, but the manufacturer decided to, so that loanwords can be played. In the tournament rules for accepted words, however, there are only a few words with ''W'' (not including their inflections) and almost none with ''Q''. Some players play these two just as two more blanks, or they just remove them from the set altogether.


Slovenian

Slovenian-language sets use these 100 tiles: *2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points) *''1 point'': E ×11, A ×10, I ×9, O ×8, N ×7, R ×6, S ×6, J ×4, L ×4, T ×4 *''2 points'': D ×4, V ×4 *''3 points'': K ×3, M ×2, P ×2, U ×2 *''4 points'': B ×2, G ×2, Z ×2 *''5 points'': Č ×1, H ×1 *''6 points'': Š ×1 *''8 points'': C ×1 *''10 points'': F ×1, Ž ×1 ''Q'', ''W'', ''X'' and ''Y'' are absent, because Slovenian does not use those letters.

-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''; loanwords containing them are simply not playable. 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. 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 108 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 ×4, 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.


Swedish

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, Å ×2, Ö ×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

(''læstadianism'' in Swedish). Originally (starting in 1954), Swedish Scrabble sets (called Alfa-pet, made by the Swedish company Alga, since 1983 a member of the BRIO Group) used a slightly different distribution: *2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points) *''1 point'': T ×9, A ×8, R ×8, S ×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, Å ×2, Ö ×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: *2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points) *''1 point'': E ×10, N ×9, T ×9, A ×8, R ×8, S ×6, D ×5, I ×5, L ×5 *''2 points'': O ×4, G ×3, K ×3, M ×3, H ×2 *''3 points'': F ×2, V ×2, Ä ×2 *''4 points'': U ×2, Å ×2, Ö ×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 in the 1980s, 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 and 10. 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, Å ×2, Ä ×2, Ö ×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.

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.

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. ''Q'' is only used in loanwords. ''J'' and ''V'' did not exist as letters separate from ''I'' and ''U''. 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.

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. ''R̃'', 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.

The diacritical marks and the okina ''''' are ignored.

It is unknown if a blank can be used to represent ''CH''. ''Q'' and ''X'' are not included as these letters are not used in Igbo.

The combination ZO is absent as it is only used in 7 words (, , , , , , and ). The combination Y is absent as it is only used in 1 word (). 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.

Na'vi language sets use these 100 tiles: *2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points) *''1 point'': A ×12, E ×8, L ×6, N ×6, T ×6, Y ×6, O ×5, U ×5, I ×4, R ×4 *''2 points'': Ì ×4, ʼ ×4, Ä ×3, S ×3 *''3 points'': K ×3, M ×3, P ×3 *''4 points'': F ×2, G ×2, V ×2, W ×2 *''5 points'': H ×1 *''8 points'': X ×3 *''10 points'': Z ×1 Note that ''B'', ''D'', ''J'', ''Q'', and ''C'' (which is a rare alternative spelling of the digraph ''TS'') have no tiles because these letters are not used in Na'vi. Note that ''G'' is only used in the ''NG'' digraph (and is also a rare alternative spelling of that digraph), and ''X'' is only used in the ''KX'', ''PX'', and ''TX'' digraphs. You cannot use a blank to represent the digraphs ''KX'', ''LL'', ''NG'', ''PX'', ''RR'', ''TS'', ''TX'', or the diphthongs ''AW'', ''AY'', ''EW'', or ''EY'' (which are sometimes considered as digraphs). This set was created by LearnNa'vi.org. Shortly after, the idea of revising the set to have the digraphs as single tiles (removing the ''G'' and ''X'' tiles) was proposed, but that has not taken effect so far.

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.

''Ѡ'' is only used in one native Slavic word - "ѡтъ" (from). ''Уs high value is due to it only appearing after ''О'' and forming the digraph ''Ѹ'', which has no tile and must be formed with two. ''Ꙃ'' and ''Ꙁ'' can also be represented by the more modern ''Ѕ'' and ''З'' respectively. ''Я'' is absent due to it being a shorthand form of ''Ꙗ''. ''Ы'' is represented with its archaic form ''Ꙑ''. ''Й'' is also absent due to being interchangeable with ''И'' until shortly after the Russian spelling reform of 1917, being a form of ''И'' and not an actual letter in its own right. ''Е'' and ''Э'' are also interchangeable with ''Є'' and its iotated form.

The letter ''Y'' is not part of the standard Toki Pona alphabet, but appears in the joke word ''yupekosi''; the game accepts also the two-letter word ''yu''. Words can be played backwards because of asymmetrical Toki Pona syllable structure. An earlier, unreleased beta version with 80 tiles is shown below, without the ''Y'': * 2 blank tiles (worth 0 points) * ''1 point:'' A ×16, I ×12, N ×10 * ''2 points:'' E ×8, L ×8 * ''3 points:'' O ×5, S ×4 * ''4 points:'' P ×3, K ×3 * ''5 points:'' U ×3 * ''8 points:'' M ×2, T ×2 * ''10 points:'' J ×1, W ×1
