Letters & tiles
The letter bag is 100 tiles: the plain 26-letter alphabet — every accented letter folds onto its base letter for tile purposes, so there's no exception to track. The tile distribution is a plain 26-letter distribution.

Worth knowing
- French has no regional dialect split to reconcile — Ivorian, Senegalese, Congolese, Quebecois, and European French all share the same standardized spelling.
- French was added specifically for its reach well beyond France itself: several West and Central African countries (Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal, Cameroon, DR Congo, and others) have large or official French-speaking populations, many of them on Android.
