Odds in a Scrabble game.?

Question

I was starting a game with 2 other players, we all drew 7 pieces prior to the start of the game. I drew 6 letter I's and a U. There are a total 0f 96 pieces in the game, there are 9 letter I's in this group.It would seem that the odds are pretty heavy. I don't think I would live long enough to do it again. By the way, I withdrew from the game and wouldn't play, got some insults for doing so!

Yeah lol sometimes it happens! At Scrabulous - http://www.scrabulous.com - where you get Scrabble online, chances of this happening are very rare as the computer selects the tiles to be distributed randomly. But even then I know many people who got such weird draws.

Combinations!

You didn't say what order you picked in! 
I guess I'll assume you picked first, and all of them at once.


chances of that happening are 2.82 x 10^-6 %

that's one freakin small number

combos! you probably did no longer say what order you picked in! I guess i will assume you picked first, and that all of them rapidly. probabilities of that occurring are 2.80 2 x 10^-6 % it extremely is one freakin small volume
