Scrabble Letter Distributions - Welsh

Welsh

Welsh-language Scrabble sets use these 105 tiles:

• 2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
• 1 point: A ×10, E ×8, N ×8, I ×7, R ×7, Y ×7, D ×6, O ×6, W ×5, DD ×4
• 2 points: F ×3, G ×3, L ×3, U ×3
• 3 points: S ×3, B ×2, M ×2, T ×2
• 4 points: C ×2, FF ×2, H ×2, TH ×2
• 5 points: CH ×1, LL ×1, P ×1
• 8 points: J ×1
• 10 points: NG ×1, RH ×1

Since there are specific tiles for the digraphs that are considered to be separate letters in Welsh orthography (such as DD), it is not permissible to use the individual letters to spell these out. Diacritics on letters are ignored.

The digraph PH, which exists in Welsh, is omitted because it is used almost exclusively in mutated words, which the rules disallow. K, Q, V, X and Z also do not exist in Welsh. Arguably J does not exist in Welsh either, but it is included as it is sometimes used for borrowed words.
