It's the hardest number to use.
Prefer flipping larger numbers when you have choices.
Once 7-8-9 are down, switch to one die if allowed - you'll miss the mark less often.
Keep track of which combinations of remaining tiles you can actually achieve.
Avoid leaving combinations like 2 and 3 only
A roll of 11 or 12 ends your turn.
