Subject: Re: [quackle] A puzzling recommendation concerning letter values and
synergy
Stu,
I don't know about the real mavens on here, but I will usually prefer IES
over AES (all other things being equal). The T probably makes it very close.
A raw Lexpert count shows the following (without regard for actual bag
probabilities):
- 7LW with IEST but not FF: 1415
- 7LW with AEST but not FF: 1348
Positionally, I might prefer GIE since EE is easier to hook in front than
behind, and you may be more likely to have a spot for your 7LW next turn.

I got a preferred move from Championship Player, set to Collins, I
didn't understand. With FEE at 8g my rack was AEEGIST. The Generated Choice
first preference was for GAE at 9f, leaving EIST. GIE at 7f leaves AEST, which
I thot was better for both letter value (A better than I) and synergy. Any
comments?
