Overall strategy
- Aim for an efficient use of the tiles, in a way that helps
the board.
- Be willing to sacrifice several turns per game, for some combination
of the following:
- Opening up the board
- Safely disposing of C's and V's
- Redrawing
Rack management
- When holding more than 1 S, or more than 1 blank, favor immediately
redrawing the extra S or blank, unless a bingo is available.
- An extra S or blank will otherwise tend to be used inefficiently,
leading to fewer bingos in the game.
- When holding 3 or more S's and blanks combined, consider redrawing
even if a bingo is available (unless there's a spectactular bingo
worth at least 100 points).
