'How to place BLANKS in Scrabble board when it affects the points in a play
Is there a general rule in scrabble that states that optimal points be awarded to plays dealing with BLANKS and premium letter squares?
Let's say for example that my rack has the following:
So we use some tiles to create a word PIZZA. Obviously I only have one Z, so it makes sense to use the BLANK on the non-premium square to create the word. The issue is where the BLANK is placed!
Is this left up to the discretion of the player to put the BLANK in the correct place or do the rules mandate its placement based on giving the play the most points?
I can see some strategic reasons why placing the blank will differ from scenario to scenario but just want to understand how this works for the rules.
