Yahoo's Literati is a pain because they don't do letter frequencies right. If you can't play off the probability of your opponent having some letters then a huge pile of strategy is gone. Also you can end up with, say, four Qs. That said, ISC's web interface has always driven me mad, and for that reason I play Scrabble at the Pixie Pit .

/retrieves jaw ...it's full of stars! Seriously, I had no idea this existed. You've just destroyed the rest of my life. I hope you're happy. I logged in and observed a game at random. It turned out to be Scrabble superstar Trey E's bid for 2nd place. He won against 10th-rated airtight and jumped to 2nd place by 1 rating point (now 1957). I'm going to go cancel all of my everything forever now.

Nine times out of ten it's a consonant, but every once in a while...it's a vowel. Of course, it's Scrabble policy not to imply ownership in the event of a vowel. We use the indefinite article: "A vowel" Never "Your vowel."

I like www.quadplex.com best of all the internet Scrabble implementations. Its challenge rule actually makes use of the fact that it's an internet implementation: it allows each player three tries at placing a valid word. So you can try stuff you're not quite sure about, and thus increase your knowledge, without giving your opponent information, or standing a risk of losing your turn.

Also, SOAP should never, ever be played for a mere 6 points. S's should be saved for bingoing if possible, or hooked off something decent, and the P should be placed on at least a double-letter score. So: SOAP (9) + something decent as a hook off the S (12) = 21. As a minimum.
