Robin Lee Powell scripsit:

Because you want to assign a score to a Scrabble letter based on how
rare it is in the Scrabble wordlist, without taking into account how
rare or common that particular word may be in running text.

Note that the relative frequency of "l" drops from most common consonant
to fourth most common, because its constant use in gadri is no longer
important.
