Scrabble Letter Distributions - Latin

Latin

There are two kinds of Latin-language Scrabble sets developed by two authorities in the language.

The first 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

The second distribution below was made "in conjunction with scholars from the University of Cambridge and elsewhere, together with the Cambridge Schools Classics Project." Note that this distribution distinguishes U from V, with the semi-vocalic V scoring five times the points.

  • 2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
  • 1 point: E ×11, A ×9, I ×11, N ×6, R ×9, S ×8, T ×7, U ×7
  • 2 points: C ×4, M ×5, O ×5
  • 3 points: D ×3
  • 4 points: L ×2, P ×2
  • 5 points: B ×2, V ×2
  • 6 points: F ×1, G ×1, X x1
  • 10 points: H ×1, Q ×1

Famous quotes containing the word latin:

    Is there no Latin word for Tea? Upon my soul, if I had known that I would have let the vulgar stuff alone.
    Hilaire Belloc (1870–1953)

    OUR Latin books in motly row,
    Invite us to our task—
    Gay Horace, stately Cicero:
    Yet there’s one verb, when once we know,
    No higher skill we ask:
    This ranks all other lore above—
    We’ve learned “’Amare’ means ‘to love’!”
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    Where liberty dwells there is my country.
    —Anonymous. Latin phrase.
