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.
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.[1] Several online tools exist for counting tiles during friendly play.[2]
Official editions
[edit]Scrabble editions listed in this section are officially licensed by Hasbro (for North America) or Mattel (for the rest of the world).

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. Diacritical marks (such as "ñ" in words borrowed from Spanish) are ignored.
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, 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. 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. [citation needed]

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 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.

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, 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.[5] 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.[6] [7] 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

Q and W are absent because they are only used in loanwords, though Q and W can be played with a blank.[8] 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);[9] CH is instead played as two distinct letters C and H.

Prior to 1993, there was no official Czech Scrabble.[10] Instead, there was a Scrabble clone called Pismenkovka which was created in the 1970s, which had a CH tile.[11] 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.[12]
KrisKros Klasik has a similar distribution, but it includes 4 T tiles and 2 X tiles.[13]

- 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.

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:
- 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

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.

- 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.[17] 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.

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
One user on Scrabble3D proposed adding one A, one L, and one P, and removing one D, one M, and one U for balance in the main 102-tile distribution. The fifth U is kept to make the Q playable.[18] The "Alternative distribution" adds one A and one P and removed one D and one U to the 102-tile distribution.[19]
Another user on Scrabble3D proposed adding the letter ẞ, worth 8 points, removing an S tile, and decreasing the value of the Y. Percentages of each letter were shown in the dictionary, and a new distribution was established, still with 102 tiles.[20] The resulting distribution has been implemented as the "Eszett" distribution:[19]
- 2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
- 1 point: E ×16, N ×8, R ×7, T ×7, A ×6, S ×6, I ×5
- 2 points: U ×5, H ×4, L ×4, D ×3, O ×3, B ×2, G ×2
- 3 points: M ×3, F ×2, K ×2, P ×2
- 4 points: Ä ×1, Ö ×1, W ×1, Z ×1
- 6 points: C ×2, J ×1, X ×1, Y ×1
- 8 points: Ü ×1, V ×1, ẞ ×1
- 10 points: Q ×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 & 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. Scrabble3D allows a special "Alternative distribution", which adds two A's one P and removes one D and two U's.[19]
Note that the quasi-letter ß (Eszett) is not used in any distribution except for the new Scrabble3D one. 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.).[21]

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. Using a D tile and a Z tile to make DZ is not allowed, and neither is putting together D, Z and S or D and ZS to make DZS.[citation needed]

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"),[24] 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

Originally, there were 105 tiles in this set, as there were 7 E's instead of 6.
C, Q, W, and Z are absent in all distributions since Icelandic does not use those letters.

- 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

- 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.

An alternate set, proposed by Scrabble3D along with the official set,[27] 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, 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.

Italian-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",[28] 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:[29]
- 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:[30]
- 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.[31]

There are four kinds of Latin-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.[32]
- 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 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 second 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, Ↄ ×1, ſt ×1, V̄ ×1
- 4 points: B ×2, G ×2, P ×2, X ×2
- 5 points: ct ×1, Ꝑ ×1, Ꝝ ×1
- 6 points: Ꝓ ×1, P̄ ×1
- 8 points: F ×1, H ×1
- 10 points: Y ×1
The point value of Ↄ is unknown, but it is believed to be 3. 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:[33]
- 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:[34]
- 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.

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,[37] so they were included.

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.[39]
Alexander[year needed] has released Scriba, which was based on the Swedish game Alfapet. The distribution has 108 tiles:[40]
- 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[41] except on the Internet Scrabble Club.[42][43]

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

- 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:[44]
- 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.[45]
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  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,[citation needed] but it is not so rare, so it is included.

In 1954, Selchow & Righter released their Foreign Language Edition in Russian[46][better source needed] with the following 124-tile distribution:
- 2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
- 1 point: О ×12, Е ×10, И ×10, А ×9, Н ×6, Р ×6, Т ×6, В ×5, С ×5

- 8 points: Ш ×1, Э ×1, Ю ×1
- 10 points: Ф ×1, Щ ×1, Ъ ×1
This distribution has no Ё tile.

In Erudit, only nominative singular and pluralia tantum nouns are allowed.
Scottish Gaelic
[edit]Scottish Gaelic-language editions of Scrabble, created in 2023,[47] use these 100 tiles:
- 2 blanks (scoring 0 points)
- 1 point: A ×12, H ×12, I ×9, E ×6, D ×5, R ×5, S ×4
- 2 points: B ×4, C ×4, G ×4, L ×4, M ×4, N ×4, O ×4, U ×4
- 4 points: À ×2, F ×2, T ×2
- 6 points: È ×2, Ù ×2
- 8 points: Ì ×1, Ò ×1
- 10 points: P ×1
Á, É, and Ó are absent since they are now mostly obsolete 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.

Scrabble3D originally planned to use these 104 tiles in an unofficial distribution, planned earlier:[48]
- 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

- 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).

H is absent from both Scrabble3D sets because it is almost exclusively used in lenited consonants.

- 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.[50] Some players play these two just as two more blanks, or they just remove them from the set altogether.

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; 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.[51]
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 [citation needed]:
- 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-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, since 1983 a member of the BRIO Group) used a slightly different distribution:
×1 | ×2 | ×3 | ×5 | ×6 | ×7 | ×8 | ×9 | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

1 | D I L | N | E | A R S | T | |||

7 | J Y | |||||||
8 | X | |||||||
10 | C |
- 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, 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:
×1 | ×2 | ×3 | ×4 | ×5 | ×6 | ×8 | ×9 | 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, 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 in the 1980s, 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.

Turkish-language sets use these 100 tiles (including distinct dotted and dotless I tiles):
- 2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
- 1 point: A ×12, E ×8, İ ×7, K ×7, L ×7, R ×6, N ×5, T ×5
- 2 points: I ×4, M ×4, O ×3, S ×3, U ×3
- 3 points: B ×2, D ×2, Ü ×2, Y ×2
- 4 points: C ×2, Ç ×2, Ş ×2, Z ×2
- 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.

Welsh-language Scrabble sets, created in 2005,[52] 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

- 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 polygraphs MH, NGH, NH and PH also exist in Welsh, but they are omitted because they are used almost exclusively in mutated[disambiguation needed] 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.

The Anglo-Saxon editions use these 101 tiles:[53]

- 8 points: P ×1
- 10 points: X ×1
Anglo-Saxon uses the letter K, but it only occurs in one word (kyning, usually written cyning) 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.

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.

Hausa-language Scrabble sets use these 114 tiles:[70]

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. 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.

There is no official Hawaiian-language edition of Scrabble, but one suggested version contains these 100 tiles:[71]
- 5 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
- 1 point: A ×21
- 2 points: K ×20, O ×11
- 3 points: I ×8, N ×8
- 4 points: E ×6
- 5 points: U ×5
- 6 points: H ×5
- 7 points: L ×4
- 8 points: M ×3, P ×3
- 9 points: W ×1
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 6 U's. The diacritical marks and the okina ' are ignored.

Igbo-language sets use these 134 tiles, and a 19×19-tile board:[72]
- 4 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)

While C is only used in the digraph CH, the C was likely included because the CH is played with a C and an H. 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 obsolete letters ゐ (WI) and ゑ (WE), the letter を now exclusively used as a grammatical particle, and the lengthener ー have no tiles.
In this version, words are played as collated in the dictionary:
- Modified letters with the diacritics ゛ and ゜ , as well as the small letters (ぁぃぅぇぉっゃゅょゎ) are played using the unmodified letter: 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 つ can validly stand for づ horizontally, and っ vertically:
あ こ と は つ か い か
- The words played are 言葉遣い (ことばづかい kotobazukai) and 悪化 (あっか akka). The player is allowed to extend vertically into 扱う (あつかう atsukau).
This version was created by a student from Japan, and is not in wide circulation.

That is, in the 214-tile variant, the word ヨーロッパ (yōroppa "Europe") is played with the tiles よ, blank, ろ, っ, and ぱ (there is no tile for ー), while in the 100-tile variant, it is played as よ, お, ろ, つ, and は.
The obsolete letters ゐ and ゑ, letters only used in loanwords ぇ, ゎ, ぃ, ぁ, ぅ, and ぉ, along with the lengthener ー, have no tiles (with the first three letters and the lengthener being playable with a blank). Blank tiles may be played as standalone diacritics ゛ and ゜.

It can be used for a blank with 20 points reward for each play. - represents long vowel. Romaji scrabble games consist of all 3 scripts used in Japanese language - Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji in romanized form.

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.

- 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 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.[93]

Tamil scrabble is played on a 45×45 board (or a 15×15×15 board in 3D), and 20 tiles are on a rack at a time (but can be lowered to as low as 15 for experts).[94][95] Note that ங, ஙா, ஙி, ஙீ, ஙு, ஙூ, ஙெ, ஙே, ஙை, ஙொ, ஙோ, ஙௌ, ஞி, ஞீ, ஞு, ஞூ, ஞெ, ஞே, ஞை, ஞொ, ஞோ, ஞௌ, டௌ, ணொ, ணௌ, நௌ, யௌ, ரௌ, லௌ, ழீ, ழூ, ழெ, ழே, ழொ, ழோ, ழௌ, ளௌ, றௌ and னௌ have no tiles because they are very rare in Tamil; these letters can still be played with a blank.

Tamil Scrabble can be also played with smaller boards with smaller letter sets (with as low as 15 tiles on the rack, depending on the set) or with larger boards with larger letter sets.

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. Note that Ê and Ô have no tiles because these are now usually written without the circumflex.
