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.
The tiles representing each letter carry a certain amount of points except the blank tiles, which carry no points at all. As a rule, letters that are more frequent carry fewer points, while the less frequent ones carry more. The new variant of the English edition of Scrabble, Super Scrabble , was launched in 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.

Decide which tiles you want to exchange first. Then remove them from your rack and place them facedown on the table. 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. Playing long words early is often wise.
Long words open up future opportunities, and playing early lowers the probability of your opponent making a big play you can't answer. Better, they let you plan steps in advance, working out how to claim whole chunks of the board for yourself.
