Comment on Nigerians Dominate Scrabble Tournaments Using Five-Letter Word Strategy

I'm pretty sure "Katti" isn't an English word. Did the journalist mishear "Catty"? Is this not a word Americans recognise?

What dictionaries did you check? Did you check the one this tournament was using?

Words don't have to be English, they have to be listed in the book the tournament uses.
