Is there a way in the simulation dialog to specify what tiles are NOT in 
opponent's partial rack?

If not, please add this to the wish list for the next version.? Thanks guys.

I.e.: I had a preendgame situation with 9 tiles unseen, and could make a very 
strong inference 
from opponent's last play of 2 tiles (from at that point 11 unseen) that it did 
not have 1 particular
tile in its 5-tile leave, therefore a 100% chance it was among the last 4 tiles 
in bag, and a
50% chance (2 of 4) the tile would not be in opponent's final rack after I 
empty bag, rather than 
22% (2 of 9).? I'd like to see what difference in winning percentage the sim 
can demonstrate
between the play I chose with that inference compared to the same play without 
that inference,
not to mention the difference in rank for the play relative to other possible 
plays.? (I did draw the
tile, relevant not nearly as much for what I could do with it as for what 
opponent could not do
without it and with the board as my play changed it compared to what other 
choices would have
done, and squeaked out what looked to otherwise be a hopeless endgame.)

Oh, one more feature I want: Maven had a checkoff feature in the sim dialog 
labeled "enumerate
all racks" for endgames, so that it would iterate every possible rack and no 
more and no less 
(presuming that all choices were going to empty bag).? I'd like Quackle to have 
a button, or 
perhaps a data table, that will tell me how many possible final draws there are 
for 2 to 7 tiles 
in bag (including any adjustments that multiplication of a given tile or tiles 
might cause) 
because I'm too dumb (and I imagine many other users are as well) to calculate 
these myself, 
and a checkoff that will make a sim to end of game run only the exact number of 
iterations to 
play out every possible rack once and no more or less.? Thanks in advance.
