John and all--
Thanx, John, for posting these Quackle leave values. But I'm
tremendously surprised by the low value attributed to the E, much lower than
the values I've seen gibven by other systems. Can this be explained?

Until recently, Quackle's leave values were loaded from a human
readable file in the data directory. We changed the format so that it
would load faster and take a bit less space. Below are Quackle's
values for one tile leaves. Bear in mind that these are the values of
the actual leaves, not the tiles. To get values of the "tiles", by
which I mean values would make better approximations of longer leaves
when you add them together, subtract about 0.5 points from each of the
consonants, and add about 0.7 to each of the vowels.
I can make the longer leave values available on the web soon.
