#note This one is complicated. Bingos are obviously a huge threat and TWILIT is perfect for neutralizing those. BUT I also need to score points to try to outrun another big threat in BICONVEX. WILING scores well enough to outrun that a decent % of the time, while TWILIT usually loses to it. IDK this one is really close maybe someone needs to macondo it. FWIW I did not give this the thought it deserved over the board i guess i was tired. EDIT: Ok so after some analysis (done by someone else not me) it looks like WILING is the best I can do at about 61% to win. It conclusively outruns all non-bingo responses, albeit sometimes in a tight endgame. The best bingo-blocking line is not TWILIT (40% win) but rather 13I LUIT(E)N (51% win). TWILIT and LUITEN actually concede bingos the same % of the time, but LUITEN is better because preserving N10 WAI(N) or WAI(N)S actually helps win against BICONVEX some of the time. Although there are some endgames (FIS in bag) where this backfires because I have to eat a 4-pointer. Funnly, altough LUITEN concedes a bunch of bingos that TWILIT blocks (14I AGNISES, 14E SEITANS, 11G ANISEEDS, 11C AMEBIASES), none of them matter because all of those racks already bingo from the X (XERANSIS, XERASIAS). XERAFINS is also instadeath of course.
