anyone else play Crossplay and tried against the Maximal Mo bot? i’m completely convinced that game mode is rigged to give the bot better tiles

at first i thought i was just crazy, that i'm not a good enough Scrabble player (i'm not), so i was just being beat by cleverness but i started consulting a Scrabble solver site, and my first tiles rarely net long or high-value words, where the bot somehow drops six or seven great tiles every time

like look at this shit, this can’t be an actually fair mode

now, there's an argument that by getting better tiles first and playing them immediately, Maximal Mo burns through points potential later, but that doesn't explain why it bot gets those better tiles to begin with, which is very different from playing random tiles more intelligently

(and yes, i'm sure if i was actually better at Scrabble, i could eke out a win against Maximal Mo every now and then, but like i said, i'm convince the bot is rigged to have an advantage beyond just maximal play skill)
