ABSTRACT:
A deck of playing cards including 104 individual cards divided into four suits of 26 cards each. Each card of each suit bears a suit marking, e.g., hearts, diamonds, clubs, or spades, and a different one of the 26 letters of the English alphabet. Each card of each suit also bears a number representative of the frequency with which the letter borne by that card occurs in words in the English language; the lower numbers correspond to more frequently used letters and the higher numbers correspond to less frequently used letters. The numbers one to thirteen, inclusive, in a consecutive series appear on at least thirteen cards of each suit, and preferably each number between one and thirteen appears on two cards of each suit. If desired, tiles or any other suitable medium for carrying the letters, numbers, and suit markings may be used in place of cards.
