Just had the big brain play of my life in #Crossplay. My opponent played QUILL in the bottom-left one space above a triple word score. I don’t have an S. But I check the bag and sure enough, there’s one S left in the game.

I don’t know if my opponent has the S but I know my best chance is to get 7 tries to get it out of the bag. So I swap all of my tiles.

Jackpot.

Now, #Crossplay lets you preview plays while your opponent is taking their turn. If I can make this next play, it’ll be for 96 points.

Unfortunately for me, they played right next to it. Still, I think the 76 points for this was worth the swap—it also prevented them from playing off of this!
