Very similar to the English version. Has a few different letters from the spanish alphabet.
Spanish Scrabble
I teach high school Spanish. I use this game (among others) with my students on periodic “game days.” High schoolers LOVE to play games. This is a super game for expanding Spanish vocabulary. I let my students use a dictionary. It is difficult to play unless you have a good vocabulary in Spanish, so allowing English words too is a good idea. Just count all Spanish words for double points after all special point values have already been added too.
according to Wikipedia at [...] the English-language editions of Scrabble contain 100 letter tiles, in the following distribution:
* 2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
* 1 point: E ×12, A ×9, I ×9, O ×8, N ×6, R ×6, T ×6, L ×4, S ×4, U ×4
* 2 points: D ×4, G ×3
* 3 points: B ×2, C ×2, M ×2, P ×2
* 4 points: F ×2, H ×2, V ×2, W ×2, Y ×2
* 5 points: K ×1
* 8 points: J ×1, X ×1
* 10 points: Q ×1, Z ×1
This distribution of letters has not changed since Alfred Butts invented the game in 1938.
Spanish-language sets sold within North America (known as Scrabble – Edición en Español) use these 103 tiles:
* 2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
* 1 point: A ×11, E ×11, O ×8, S ×7, I ×6, U ×6, N ×5, L ×4, R ×4, T ×4
* 2 points: C ×4, D ×4, G ×2
* 3 points: M ×3, B ×3, P ×2
* 4 points: F ×2, H ×2, V ×2, Y ×1
* 6 points: J ×2
* 8 points: K ×1, LL ×1, Ñ ×1, Q ×1, RR ×1, W ×1, X ×1
* 10 points: Z ×1
Spanish-language sets sold outside North America use these 100 tiles:
* 2 blank tiles (scoring 0 points)
* 1 point: A ×12, E ×12, O ×9, I ×6, S ×6, N ×5, L ×4, R ×5, U ×5, T ×4
* 2 points: D ×5, G ×2
* 3 points: C ×4, B ×2, M ×2, P ×2
* 4 points: H ×2, F ×1, V ×1, Y ×1
* 5 points: CH ×1, Q ×1
* 8 points: J ×1, LL ×1, Ñ ×1, RR ×1, X ×1
* 10 points: Z ×1
Stress accents are disregarded. The letters K and W are absent since these two letters are rarely used in Spanish words. According to FISE (Federación Internacional de Scrabble en Español) rules, a blank cannot be used to represent K or W.
Using one C and one H tile in place of the CH tile, two L tiles for the LL tile, or two R tiles for the RR tile is also not allowed in Spanish Scrabble (see rules in Spanish provided by the FISE).
What makes a world language game extra wonderful is that it allows learners of that language the chance to prove to themselves that they know something, while having a fun time.
This Spanish language version thrills players when they see the different values for the letters and the different letters employed… I use this game in the classroom and marvel at the gentle pleasure had by all as they struggle to come up with words. We also play this at home, and have the same level of fun
We keep the game light… it is a challenge to all to work in a second language.
But oh what fun.
