scrabble for literaxx quitters

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know many of my friends playing literaxx at www.playok.com/en/literaxx may not like me after reading this post. For my excuse: I did it only for the sake of science.

When you get bored playing literaxx at http://www.playok.com/ and want to switch to Scrabble, here is what you should know.

The word list used at literaxx is called YAWL (Yet Another Word List). It is a public domain word game list authored by Mendel Cooper and Alan Beale. This list hasn't been modified since October 2004. More about YAWL: www.gtoal.com/wordgames/yawl/README

The word list used at Scrabble (except in the USA, Canada and Thailand) is CSW (Collins Scrabble Words). I haven't found any information about the legal status of this list, but it appears that many internet sites use it for generating anagrams or validating Scrabble plays on gaming sites like e.g. http://www.isc.ro/.

Although CSW has about 1% more words than YAWL, there are words which can be found in YAWL only. For a person switching to Scrabble it means 'forgetting' some literaxx words (and of course learning some new, too)

Below are lists of words unique to either Scrabble (UPPER CASE) or literaxx (lower case):
