You are trying to get a bingo.

Be strategic when making a move that will end the game. Sometimes you might be better off putting tiles in your bottom (discard) row and scoring extra points in the next round before filling the last spot in a row.

Try to get a full set of at least one colour - an extra 10 pts can make a big difference at the end! (Only in 4 player games - in 2 player games, the tiles will likely not refill, so it is very unlikely to get a full color)

Most games are 5 rounds long. Don't make long plans that require many tiles in the bottom two rows; you won't finish them. With that assumption - always try and put tiles every round in your top 3 rows.

The order in which you fill tiles in different rounds matters. Filling adjacent tiles first gives more points, even if you end up with the same board at the end of the game.

Pay attention to what colors are going to be left at the end of a round. Especially in two player games, not getting stuck with a lot of negatives is as important as getting bonuses.

Starting with the middle columns in earlier rounds gives you more options for later rounds.
