My current Crossplay strategy

  1. Save S to either (1) pluralize an existing word while playing a new word or (2) play a sweep.

  2. Save blank for the above or (3) U following a Q

  3. Look for opportunities my opponent might not notice to extend an existing word by one letter before or after. (latest example BODED -> ABODED)

  4. When a 2W or 3W is playable, consider using it immediately so it's no longer playable by my opponent.

  5. Create and don't block areas on the board where sweeps can be played (unless I'm ahead by 50+ points)

  6. Save Q, J and X for 2L or better

  7. Don't alter my play decision just in case I draw a certain tile in the near future

  8. Never swap

  9. If my intuition says "there must be a sweep possible here", SLOW DOWN and really look for it, visually placing and rearranging tiles on the board to try to find it.
