I norsk brett-Scrabble er brikkefordelingen (100 brikker) og poengverdiene på brikkene som følger:
7 x A à 1 poeng
3 x B à 4 poeng
1 x C à 10 poeng
5 x D à 1 poeng
9 x E à 1 poeng
4 x F à 2 poeng
4 x G à 2 poeng
3 x H à 3 poeng
5 x I à 1 poeng
2 x J à 4 poeng
4 x K à 2 poeng
5 x L à 1 poeng
3 x M à 2 poeng
6 x N à 1 poeng
4 x O à 2 poeng
2 x P à 4 poeng
6 x R à 1 poeng
6 x S à 1 poeng
6 x T à 1 poeng
3 x U à 4 poeng
3 x V à 4 poeng
1 x W à 8 poeng
1 x Y à 6 poeng
1 x Æ à 6 poeng
2 x Ø à 5 poeng
2 x Å à 4 poeng
2 x blanke brikker à 0 poeng
I Wordfeud er det litt flere brikker (104 stk), og brikkene har også andre verdier:
7 x A à 1 poeng
3 x B à 4 poeng
1 x C à 10 poeng
5 x D à 1 poeng
9 x E à 1 poeng
4 x F à 2 poeng
4 x G à 4 poeng
3 x H à 3 poeng
6 x I à 2 poeng
2 x J à 4 poeng
4 x K à 3 poeng
5 x L à 2 poeng
3 x M à 2 poeng
6 x N à 1 poeng
4 x O à 3 poeng
2 x P à 4 poeng
7 x R à 1 poeng
7 x S à 1 poeng
7 x T à 1 poeng
3 x U à 4 poeng
3 X V à 5 poeng
1 x W à 10 poeng
1 x Y à 8 poeng
1 x Æ à 8 poeng
2 x Ø à 4 poeng
2 x Å à 4 poeng
2 x blank brikke à 0 poeng
Finner det merkelig hvordan konsonanter og vokaler fordeles.
Flere ganger har jeg opplevd bare å få konsonanter i åpningen av et spill. Nå er jeg inne i en omgang med bare konsonanter 7 ganger. Byttet så 3 bokstaver og fikk 3 nye konsonanter. Opplever også at de merkeligste ord går, mens helt vanlige norske ord
Ikke går. Det burde gjøres noe med utvidelsen av norske ord.
Hvis du her refererer til fordelingen av brikker i Wordfeud, er det ikke vi som lager dette spillet, så det må du nesten ta opp med dem som gjør det. Men jeg tror jeg kan garantere deg at den er helt tilfeldig, selv om det iblant kan føles helt annerledes. Det er imidlertid helt naturlig at man får flere konsonanter enn vokaler, da det finnes mange flere konsonanter i «posen».
Vi arbeider derimot med å oppdatere ordlisten, så hvis det er ord du savner, kan du klikke på lenken i høyre spalte som tar deg til siden der vi samler inn ord som savnes av spillerne.

Hi Norwegian Scrabble Fans,
I am a scrabble lover who do not speak Norwegian, but I love studying Scrabble in different languages.
I really appreciate the effort of NSF making such a tremendous lexicon (much better than Swedish one which contains only around 110k words – that is obviously too small, given the similarity of these Nordic languages) – the Norwegian Scrabble is so much playable than in English as it allows much more bingoes being played. And the frequency on lexicon updates are also impressive (in English they do it like every 4-5 years, which takes too long to reflect the latest reality).
However, I noticed that what Jan-Axel said is actually a very true fact. The Norwegian language is actually not very much inclined towards consonants. Yet the official scrabble set contains just 35 vowels (and of course 63 consonants and 2 blanks, V-C ratio 35:63), which unfortunately does not quite align with the lexicon V-C ratio, that should be 38-60), surely it is the reason behind the vowel scarcity. Moreover, there are «just» 9 Es in the official set which is actually underestimated its power. In English we got 12 Es but it just contributes 11% of the total letters in the lexicon. You know what the NSF2023 comprises 14% of E for 2-9 letter words only and even 16% if we account for the whole lexicon! That’s why when I’m watching Norwegian Scrabble games players always try to save their vowels by even sacrificing like 10 and even 20 points!
Another observation is that the tile value goes kind of wrong. I could conclude the 5 big trash brothers in the F, H, J, W and Æ, and also 3 small trash brothers in the D, M and Å! Actually the most confusing distribution is not anything else but the F, its actually worth 5 points with 2 tiles at most but it is actually 2 points with 4 tiles, which makes the F one of the worst tiles to play. On the flipside we get some very overpowered tiles besides the E, in the U, Y and R. They are just so versatile to use and score many points! (R for bingoes, apparently) I am pretty surprised that when I look at the stats, the Y is actually more frequent then the H and J for 2-9 letter words!
As a always debatable topic, like literally Scrabble in every language, including English – should the official consider redo the tile set? For us the V, Q, U, W and F are so underwhelmed and the S, X and Z are overpowered. I would like to draft a set to reflect the value of each letter (it would be so deviated as I just did it with the stats):
0 point – Blanks x2
1 point – E x14, R x8, A x7, N x7, S x7, T x7, L x6, I x5
2 points – K x5, O x4, G x3
3 points – D x3, U x3, M x2
4 points – B x2, P x2, V x2, Y x1
5 points – F x2, Ø x2, H x1, Å x1
6 points – J x1
8 points – Æ x1
10 points – C x1, W x1 (The W could be valued 15 points but I am fine to not break the 10-point ceiling)
Total: 100 tiles
Anyways, this is just my personal opinion. I love this game so much! I wish more Norwegian Scrabble contents would be created on YouTube in the future!
