W (Wild, bar/20 6/5) looks too loose, being anchorless and with blots in every quadrant, and White able to hit in two different spots outside as well as attack inside. Four-plication is insufficient compensation when White has so many double-hitting numbers.

What move should Blue pick among the non-wild alternatives? It seems prudent to get off 6s by moving the 16pt checker, which narrows it down to R (Run, bar/20 16/15 and D (Down, bar/24 16/11). Not sure. The former is riskier but more flexible and connective (including the 15/9 possibility), and has some duplication going for it, so I'll go with R.
