#note QUackle best: 14F FE for 28, giving about 2% higher winning chance than this. Really don't know why. The best strategy for this position is forcing your opponent to play a bingo in position that you can counter immediately, since you cannot make sure in which line he will play his bingo (I know JOni close to bingo and hold last S because of his last play signaled it)

FE/EF/TE will provide Joni high-spot and safe bingo line, while my move also giving him easy bingo spot, but unsafe and easily countered. Quackle analysis help much to know which one is better but take a note that her consideration assuming both player playing perfectly (know all words and has perfect anagramming skill), and quackle don't know how significant your opponent last move that can be a good signal about what letter he was holding, instead quackle just randomly pick 7 letter from unseen tile to make random rack

So in this move, the best move may be vary, but the good strategy is, if you cannot block all bingo line, the best you can do is setting hgh spot (non-bingo move), or forcing him to make in position that easily countered
>Joni_Rolis: EINNPRS M9 SPINNER +74 382
#note The only bingo, giving roughly 80% winning chance
>Christian_Oktavius: DEELNOZ 14J ZON.D +70 400
#note Best move by far, with about 11% higher winning chance than 2nd best O1 EMBOWELED for 51, and 13% more than 1A ZENDO (which I almost considered)

Here is (probably) why it work. Quackle wants to retain EEL, hoping to pick one of 2 unseen D to make EMBOWELED in next move
>Joni_Rolis: ADEGR 15H GRADE. +44 426
>Christian_Oktavius: EELMRTU 12J TER.UM +22 422
>Christian_Oktavius: EELMRTU -- -22 400
#note 3 different winnning move available here, however all of it requaired 4 and 5 letters word prowess, and correctly set-up. With 3 minutes remained in my clock because I spend too much time in previous 2 move, I cannot analyze all possible set-up and outcome, so I just use this one, pray that he not challenge it(since he still ahead after this move) and the +5 point for failed challenge could be a game changer, plus he didn't see that my EL can score much by making EMBOWEL for 14.

I just pray that it will give me 1-5 points winning game, if he let it go, and fail to score enough point
>Joni_Rolis: DIOPTUV 12K TU.D +10 436
