Scrabble Tile Values: Every Letter Score
Official Scrabble Letter Values
Each Scrabble tile has a point value from 1 (common letters like A, E, I) to 10 (rare letters like Q and Z). Multiply the base tile value by any letter premium square (DL or TL) to calculate your score.

| A | 1 | 1 |
| B | 3 | 4 |
| C | 3 | 4 |
| D | 2 | 2 |
| E | 1 | 1 |
| F | 4 | 4 |
| G | 2 | 3 |
| H | 4 | 3 |

| J | 8 | 10 |
| K | 5 | 5 |
| L | 1 | 2 |
| M | 3 | 4 |
| N | 1 | 2 |
| O | 1 | 1 |
| P | 3 | 4 |
| Q | 10 | 10 |
| R | 1 | 1 |
| S | 1 | 1 |
| T | 1 | 1 |
| U | 1 | 2 |
| V | 4 | 5 |

How Scrabble Scoring Works
Base tile scores are totaled for the word, then multiplied by any Word Score premium squares (DW = ×2, TW = ×3). Letter premiums (DL, TL) are applied before word multipliers. If you play all 7 tiles in one turn, add 50 bonus points (called a "bingo").
High-Value vs. Low-Value Letters
Q (10 pts) and Z (10 pts) are the highest-value tiles. J (8 pts) and X (8 pts) are next. The most common letters — A, E, I, O, U, L, N, R, S, T — score just 1 point because they appear frequently and are easier to play.
Scrabble vs. Words With Friends Tile Values
Words With Friends uses a slightly different point system. B, C, M, and V score higher in WWF; H scores lower. The overall strategy is similar but the exact values differ — see the table above for a side-by-side comparison.
