Letter Frequencies

The letters are generated at random, but weighted so that the letters most commonly used in English are more likely to appear. See the table below for details.

Letter Number Letter Number Letter Number
A 9 J 1 S 5
B 2 K 1 T 7
C 2 L 4 U 4
D 4 M 2 V 2
E 12 N 7 W 2
F 2 O 8 X 1
G 3 P 2 Y 2
H 3 Q 1 Z 1
I 9 R 6
Total 102

Letters are selected using these rules:

  • Letters are selected without replacement. Thus you cannot get more than two Cs (for example) in a game.

  • There are never more than three of the same letter in a game.

  • There are never more than seven vowels (A, E, I, O, U) in a game.

  • The Q automatically comes with a U. This U is not counted in the number of Us or the number of vowels.
