I'm here to tell you this behavior is not done consistently... and if I've 
already input my rack and there is a blank in it, I would prefer that it assume 
that the letter used that is not in my rack is in fact the blank and designate 
accordingly. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.

When I'm doing post-mortem on games, I set the opponent rack to be whatever he 
played on that turn, the letters I know for certain he had. If one of those is 
the blank, I still want the same behavior.
