From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrabble_letter_distributions:
There are twenty six (26) letter tiles from letter A to letter Z with the following breakdown:
A=(9), B=(2), C=(2), D=(4), E=(12), F=(2), G=(3), H=(2), I=(9), J=(1), K=(1), L=(4), M=(2), N=(6), O=(8), P=(2), Q=(1), R=(6), S=(4), T=(6), U=(4), V=(2), W=(2), X=(1), Y=(2), Z=(1).
Plus, two (2) blank tiles.
A is the most commonly used letter in Scrabble.
They give you 16 A's in a scrabble set.
Scrabble includes all 26 letters of the alphabet.
seven because that is how many tiles you have.
No. If you pass, you have the privilege to change your letter tiles provided however that there are available letter tiles left on the scrabble bag.
Yes, should be 100 tiles.
All scrabble letters are single letters. There are 100 single tiles in the game of Scrabble. You get one each of the following letters: K, J, X, Q, Z.
At least two (2) to a maximum of seven (7) letter tiles at the start.
Scrabble letters are called tiles. The part that holds each player's letters is called a rack.
You can try to track the letters by marking which letters are played, but your opponent's rack will throw it off.
There are two (2) letters with assigned point value of ten (10) points each in standard scrabble, the letter 'Q' and 'Z' tiles. These two (2) letter tiles carry the highest points.
A full English-language set contains 100 tiles.
You can keep the tiles in a bag and draw when you need new letters from your turn. Another option, which I like, is to dump all the letters into the game box lid and draw the letters from there. If you use the lid, turn over and mix the letters before you start to play.
That will depend on what the letters are and where on the board they are positioned.
