In this position, comparing all these options is very difficult. Strategic choices are not preferences: they are deductions.Ĭhoices: rESIZED k8 (72), rESEIZED 12g (72), ZIpPED b6 (72), ZEIN 1i (34), ZEK 6b (32) If you have several options to choose from, use the process of elimination by first comparing similar plays and then comparing plays with different strengths and weaknesses. Playing towards the center ensures that you don’t give your opponent lucrative scoring opportunities in the outer 4 columns or rows on the board where they can score extremely lucratively with scoring combinations, such as the TL/TW combination.ĩ. Play towards the center, and away from the Triples. However, you *can* play VINY at 10k, setting up your L, since no Ls or blanks remain in the tile bag.Ħ. For example, you might consider playing VEIN 10k, setting up your Y, but there are two S remaining, making such a play extremely dangerous. Reviewing this box will allow you to make subtle strategic adjustments such as setups and inform you about which scoring spots are the most dangerous.īy observing the Tile Bag, you can notice tiles that don’t remain.
Pay special attention to high point tiles, S, and blanks as well as consonant/vowel ratio and severe duplication. (The Tile Bag is located behind the box with 3 horizontal lines in the lower left line.) Doing so can provide you with key strategic information that can help you win more games. Use the Tile Bag, especially towards the end of the game. In this position, you should play INDENT l1, scoring well and blocking the T while saving the Z for a future scoring play next turn.Ĥ. If these tiles don’t achieve these goals, you should usually save them until they do. Your strategy with the X and Z should be to score 30+ points by using bonus square multipliers, while your strategy with the S and blank should be to use them either in 30+ point scoring plays or bingos. By looking at the tile bag, you’re notice there is only one C left to hook LUCKS next turn, making LUCKS a superior play. Here, you can play CAPSULE for 60 on row 14, or you can play LUCKS on row 10 for 48, keeping a P-hook. Use the Tiles remaining function to examine how many tiles are left that can use your setup (for example, how many S remain to pluralize your word, or how many C, P, or T remain to go in front of your _RICK hook) However, by playing AERATION at 6e and sacrificing points, you significantly limit your opponent’s ability to score next turn.Ĭreate openings that are hard to use for random tiles, but easy for the tiles remaining in your leave. AERATION 6h and ORIENTAL j1 score the most points, but create very dangerous TW-TL openings. In Diagram 2, you have several bingos to choose from, but you should select a bingo that does not open too much. It is easily worth the sacrifice in points to block this dangerous opening: even if you needed to sacrifice 10 points, you should do so. In Diagram 1, you can play the bingo TROUBLE in row 10 for 65 (hooking NEVER) but you should instead block the TW-TL-TL and DW-DW combination by playing TUMBLER 1c (63). Sometimes the best play is not the highest scoring play. There are some cases when it is worth sacrificing a few points, especially when doing so will prevent your opponent from scoring a LOT of points on their next turn. Sometimes it’s worth sacrificing some points for positioning.
