Note that I was not claiming that the common word 7s or 8s would be
any easier to spot on your rack (and therefore deserve no study), only
that the uncommon words might be more likely to draw a challenge,
which is an equity advantage that Quackle can't simulate, AFAIK. But
that advantage would contribute to "playability" (at least against
human opponents).
