OK.
Z and Q are 10 each (20)
J and X are 9 each (16)
V is f4 (x 2) (8)
K is 5 (5)
E is 1 (12 of them = 12)....
There are 9 As, 8 Os, four Us and I believe 9 Is, each one point, so that's 30
And that's all I know off top of my head without getting out my box and counting the dang things so...

That's 91 without getting to consonants, and I believe B, M and W are also worth more than one point (3?).... So we're looking at let's say.... 187 if I remember letter totals and point values correctly.

I'm going with 187.

You do realize I will of course get out my Scrabble game and count up all the points on the tiles now.... (

You do realize I got 187 by bein wrong about point values but switched two four-point letters for three-pointers so it came out the same total.... Do I get crecit for the answer?

Irocket, I counted without actually opening the box.... I was just going off memory of the game. Definitely not a rat..... more.... hmmm.... a squirrel? Ooooh, can I be the lady squirrel from IceAge3, LOL....

BTW, can you tell my family treated Scrabble as a blood sport? I had the two-letter word list and Q-without-U list memorized by age 11!
