Both boards are 15x15, but the bonus squares (or, in the case of Literati, intersections) are in different places. Letter tile point values in Literati range only from zero to five, whereas Scrabble has letters worth as many as ten points. <h2> Getting Started </h2> Once you log in to Yahoo and arrive at the Literati section, you will notice that rooms are grouped into categories based on skill level.

Select a skill level, then choose a room. This brings up a lobby window that&#39;s like a chat room from which you can join, watch, or start a game. The game runs in a third window, giving you constant access to the lobby.

Games can be public or private and can accommodate up to five players. If you start a game, you control the game options, set time limits, rate your play, and boot players. The interface is intuitive and easy to use.

Placing tiles on the board is a simple drag-and-drop operation. When you submit your word, it is automatically checked by a dictionary before being permanently positioned on the board.

If it isn&#39;t a valid word, the tiles are returned to your tray, and you must try again or pass. There is an optional challenge mode, which lets players challenge each other&#39;s words in Scrabble fashion.

<h2> Literati Cheats </h2> As is the case with many online games, it&#39;s difficult to ensure that the person you&#39;re playing against isn&#39;t cheating. Scrabble solvers and anagram generators are readily available online, so you can keep a solver running in another window while you play. A Scrabble solver takes a set of letters and produces all the words that can be made with those letters.

Long words look great on the board, but unless they use every tile in your tray (a 35 point bonus), they can score low for lack of board position. There are essentially two ways to approach a game of Literati or Scrabble.

Offensive players concentrate on words with high point scores, even if they happen to open up opportunities for other players. Defensive players put more thought into using words that are difficult to build on and limiting their opponent&#39;s chances of reaching bonus squares. A common rule of thumb is to keep a roughly equal number of vowels and consonants in your tray.

This is referred to as balancing the rack. Some players also caution against hoarding valuable letters in hopes of finding a big scoring opportunity because it tends to leave you with an excessive number of consonants.

Letters still in your rack at the end of the game are deducted from your score. If you want to excel at Literati and compete with the top ranking players on Yahoo, memorizing words will go a long way. There are, for example, 29 acceptable words in the English language that have the letter Q but don&#39;t have the letter U.
