I'm still undecided between h1 UNlIT (15) keeping ART and b5 TUI (12) keeping ANRT, although I could probably still be persuaded by l3 NUTRIA (14) keeping NT. This could be the most important decision of the game. I definitely prefer TUI over b4 UT because it uses the I (remember that there are still 6 I unseen!). Both TUI and UT open the c column as an additional bingo line, so that may work out for us. On the whole, TUI is definitely my choice between those two moves. I believe that either CATTIER or INTRANT would be big mistakes. There is just no reason to keep a U on our rack when we are going to be down by 50+ points and almost certainly will need a bingo to get back into this game. Keeping the U could prove suicidal. I'm leaning towards either TUI or UNLIT, primarily because I would prefer to keep at least ONE vowel.
