What does ATILT mean in Scrabble?
adjective
literary
Tilted or leaning to one side, out of the true vertical or horizontal.
Something described as atilt has slipped from its level or upright position, whether a hat pushed sideways, a boat listing in the water, or a shelf that has come loose from the wall. Writers favour atilt over the plain word tilted when they want a slightly old-fashioned or picturesque tone, and the word appears often in descriptive and narrative prose. It can also describe a person or animal caught mid-motion, leaning into a turn or a fall. Despite its literary flavour, the meaning stays close to the everyday sense of simply being tilted.

Chiefly literary; used in descriptive writing rather than in ordinary spoken English.
