In Puzzle 10, you should play TED 11a, setting up THUMB. While it’s easy to get into bingo-searching mode when behind, THUMB gives yourself an avenue of catching up without having to draw a bingo. Because of the score and the position, TED can easily be a fishing play trying to draw a bingo, so your opponent is unlikely to block THUMB next turn since they would rather block bingo lines.
