Among other things it also plays the fundamental role in word puzzle games, one of which is Scrabble, by being a basis for determining the frequency of the letters appearing in the game. Using letter distributions in Scrabble means that luck might play a huge role in your final scores by determining your chances to get favorable letter combinations. You can find more about luck and its role in Scrabble in article: How much does luck affect a typical Scrabble game.
Each language has its own letter distribution, but there are variations in distribution tables from various sources, depending on the actual text used as a sample in the frequency analyses. We can achieve the most accurate calculation of average letter distribution of one language by analyzing a large amount of representative text written in that language. In addition to varying distributions from different sources, languages also evolve over time, as do their letter distributions.
As a consequence, the letter distributions in Scrabble differ from one language to another. You can find the letter distribution in Scrabble for other languages here. In Scrabble each player gains points by making words from the given letter tiles and placing those words on the board. Play continues in a clockwise direction around the Scrabble board. Replacing Scrabble Tiles When a player places tiles on the Scrabble board, that player draws new tiles from the tile bag, adding until that player's number of tiles equals seven.
The player must not look at the tiles when choosing new ones. Tile selection is usually done by holding the bag above the eye line, then reaching into the bag to add tiles one by one. The Fifty Point Bonus When a player is able to place all seven tiles from the tile rack on the board at the same time, that player receives a 50 point bonus. In end game scenarios, when the players hold less than the standard seven tiles, a player does not get the 50 point bonus for using all the tiles on the rack.
The End of a Scrabble Game When all of the tiles have been taken from the bag and one player has used all of the tiles on their rack, then the game ends. Tallying Scrabble Scores Once the game has ended, each player counts the points on the tiles left remaining in their rack. Each player has that number deducted from their final score. The player who ended the game and who therefore has no more tiles remaining is given an added bonus.
Add the total of all points of all remaining players with tiles left on their racks. This number is added to the final score of the player who is "out" of tiles. The Scrabble player with the highest score after all final scores are tallied wins.
Accepted Scrabble Words Players may place any word which can be found in a standard English language dictionary. Official Scrabble dictionaries also can be found in bookstores and online. Types of words which cannot be used are abbreviations, prefixes and suffixes.
Words that require a hyphen or an apostrophe cannot be played. Words that are spelled with a capital letter cannot be used. Generally speaking in an English-language game of Scrabble , foreign words cannot be placed on the Scrabble board. If those words appear in a standard English dictionary, then the word is allowable. This is because the word is spoken often enough by native English-speakers that it has become a part of the English language.
Rules to play Scrabble Two to four players play in any game of Scrabble. Only then may you draw your new tiles, place them on your rack, and replace the exchanged tiles back into the pool. Any play may be challenged before the next player starts a turn. All words not just one made in one play are challenged simultaneously.
If any word is unacceptable, the entire play is unacceptable. Only one turn is lost on any challenge. The bonus is only scored for the player who originally covers the bonus square, and only for the one turn. In addition, if a player used all letters, the sum of the other players' unplayed letters is added to that player's score. First, a three-minute hourglass may be used to time each play. After 54 minutes the game is over and both players now have one more play before totaling the final scores.
That way, a player may play quickly for easy plays and save up time in order to take five or more minutes for the difficult plays.
