Language Differences
Scrabble is available for 29 different languages and yes, the language your game is intended for does matter. While many languages use the Latin alphabet for it’s written language, the frequency with which letters are used in each language is different. In the Afrikaans edition, there are no Z or X tiles because while the letters do exist in the language, they are used so infrequently that it didn’t make sense to include them. In the Spanish edition, there are tiles for LL and RR. Players are not allowed to substitute two R tiles for an RR in this edition. Stress accent marks are usually disregarded in Scrabble unless specifically included on the tiles. No matter what language you play the game in, each edition has either 100 or 102 tiles. Some languages have 100 letter tiles and two blank tiles.
