Yahoo! Literati Buddy

Don't you just hate it when you play (the oddly Scrabble-like game) Literati on Yahoo! and people cream you with words you didn't know were words? Especially those two-letter ones that score big points because they happen to intersect with about a dozen that were already there and you're pretty sure they're not even English (if you are, indeed, playing in English).

Don't get frustrated. Don't pull out your hair. Don't burn your dictionary. Get some leverage, you big cheater!

Here's a program that will generate all valid words for any set of characters / letters. It includes a word search tool so you can quickly tell if a word is valid or invalid. Literati Buddy searches a word database of over 365,000 words, and generates all valid words in seconds.

Unless you're above having an unfair advantage over your opponents (who probably use this danged thing, too), then give Literati Buddy a whirl!

Literati is a word game where up to four players compete by creating words from various letter tiles. The game is played on a 15x15 grid on which players create words by placing tiles at intersections on the grid. Certain intersections have special values and can increase a player's score. Scores are totaled off the point values of each letter tile plus any bonuses. The first player creates a word using the center intersection and everyone, in turn, must play off of the tiles on the board to create new words. The game is over when all the letter tiles are played or no player can spell a valid word with the tiles they have left. The player with the highest score wins the game.
