A standard English-language Scrabble set has 100 tiles in total: 98 letter tiles plus 2 blank “wild” tiles that can stand for any letter.

Quick breakdown

  • Total tiles: 100.
  • Letter tiles: 98 (these all show a letter and a point value).
  • Blank tiles: 2 (no printed letter, 0 points, can be used as any letter).

In other words, when people ask “how many tiles in Scrabble,” for the regular English version they’re talking about those 100 tiles in the bag.
