Abstract: Motivated by reformulating Yangian invariants in planar $calN=4$ SYM directly as $dlog$ forms on momentum-twistor space, we propose a purely algebraic problem of determining the arguments of the $dlog$'s, which we call "letters", for any Yangian invariant. These are functions of momentum twistors $Z$'s, given by the positive coordinates $alpha$'s of parametrizations of the matrix $C(alpha)$, evaluated on the support of polynomial equations $C(alpha)cdotZ=0$. We provide evidence that the letters of Yangian invariants are related to the cluster algebra of Grassmannian $G(4,n)$, which is relevant for the symbol alphabet of $n$-point scattering amplitudes. For $n=6,7$, the collection of letters for all Yangian invariants contains the cluster $calA$ coordinates of $G(4,n)$. We determine algebraic letters of Yangian invariant associated with any "four-mass" box, which for $n=8$ reproduce the $18$ multiplicative-independent, algebraic symbol letters discovered recently for two-loop amplitudes.
