The reasoning
From the rack FRIENDE, FRIEND scores 52/100 on strategic value and FINDER scores 52/100. Raw points are 11 against 11, so points alone cannot separate them — the ranking then weighs length, letter rarity, how common the word is and the rack you are left holding.
FRIEND wins on covers 6 squares of board space · keeps a balanced vowel-to-consonant mix · uses 6 distinct letters with no repeats.
FINDER gives up is an uncommon, specialist word · leaves an awkward E behind.
When FINDER is the better play
Play FINDER instead when the board rewards it: a premium square, a hook you can reach only with those letters, or an endgame where clearing a specific tile matters more than the 0.0-point strategic gap.
