About AT
AT is also a verb in the word list now, to tag someone online with an @, so ATS, ATTED and ATTING are valid. Either way, it is one of the most useful little words, with letters in front for BAT, CAT, EAT, FAT, HAT, MAT, OAT, PAT, RAT, SAT and VAT.

AT scores 2 points
Before any bonus squares: A 1 + T 1 = 2. On a double-word square that's 4, on a triple-word 6, and every letter bonus under one of these tiles is applied first.
Example: AT as the first play
Later in the game, put the A on a 3L square and AT is worth 4 before any word bonus.
