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
