About this converter
English Scrabble ships with 100 tiles and the counts track scarcity. E leads with 12, A and I follow with 9 each, O has 8, N, R and T have 6 each, L, S, U and D have 4 each, G has 3, and B plus the two blanks sit at 2. Single copy letters are J, K, Q, X and Z, each worth 5 to 10 points. The full set sums to 187 face points. Counts come from the printed Hasbro tile list, not from word frequency tables.
How to use it
Pick two letters and the unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 full set against E tiles to see the eight point three to one split. Point values ride in each note since counts alone decide draws.
Point values stay fixed on each tile and never change with board bonuses. Premium squares multiply during play but leave these base counts alone. The 187 point bag total is the sum of each count times its face value. Blanks score zero, which is why most point tables skip them, but this page keeps them so the 100 tile set stays complete. Remaining letters not rowed each have 1 or 2 copies with 3 to 10 points.
