Scrabble letters are called tiles. The part that holds each player's letters is called a rack.
Each player starts the game with seven letter tiles.
The actual game and rules are the same. The difference is the quality of the board and pieces. Scrabble Deluxe comes with a raised plastic board with grooves, so that the letter pieces can not slide around. The board is also on a turntable, so that you can rotate the board to each player. Deluxe also usually includes a Scrabble Dictionary.
The number of tiles given to each of the players before the start of the scrabble game is seven (7). The number of tiles to be laid first on the board depends on the first player's letter tiles to which who will lay the first word.
Each player starts with seven tiles. If you can make a word, you can use all seven on your first turn.
