Tile distribution in Scrabble Go is fair and follows the official rules of the game.

Here's how it works:

  • Each game starts with the standard Scrabble tile bag, which includes 100 tiles with fixed letter quantities (e.g., 12 E’s, 9 A’s, 8 I’s, etc.).
  • Tiles are drawn at random from the remaining pool—neither the game nor your opponent can influence which letters you receive.
  • Your opponent does not see your tiles, and you do not see theirs.
  • No one can force better or worse tiles—not even the computer. All draws are randomized and impartial.

Why does it sometimes feel unfair?
We understand that at times, players may feel like they receive too many vowels, too many consonants, or rarely draw high-scoring letters like Q or Z. This happens naturally due to chance, just like drawing cards from a shuffled deck.

Across many games, the distribution evens out—but in individual games, streaks of "good" or "bad" luck can occur. That’s part of the strategy and challenge of Scrabble!

What about Power-Ups or boosts?
Using Power-Ups like Tile Swap Plus lets you exchange tiles without losing your turn, but it doesn't affect the fairness of tile draws. Even when you swap, the new tiles come from the same randomly ordered tile bag.
