Opponent’s options: ZARATITE, TORE
Scoring options: MUTE 5i (24) lots of 15-20 point plays)
Setup potential: No

Many players get too focused on their opponent’s options. Here, your opponent’s best play by far is ZARATITE b8 (38). However, your tiles are too clunky to block while scoring well or giving yourself an out play next turn. The best play is to simply ignore this scoring play, playing RIVET and MUT on your next two plays to slightly outrun ZARATITE.
