Scrabble tile prioritization: long words versus premium squares

https://mill-wiki.win/index.php/Scrabble_tile_prioritization:_long_words_versus_premium_squares

In Scrabble, players must decide between aiming for high-scoring premium squares like double and triple word scores, or constructing longer words that may score moderately but open up more board opportunities. This prioritization affects strategy, as longer words can help control the board and create future plays, while premium squares provide immediate high point values. The choice often depends on current tile rack letters and overall game position.
