But if you're playing very competitive scrabble, shorter words are often better, may score more, and don't open the board for your opponents. So I'd think stripping might be better on point values or sommat
No. And yes. It's always sudden.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But that's what makes it more challenging. You have to decide whether it's worth it to play the short word and get high points/save the board/lose your knickers. Stripping on low points is predictable.

I'm tired and sore and sick of working from home and whiney and cranky.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think I'm feeling better! But I'm afraid it's a lie.

Maybe take a shower and drink some water and see where you are?

I'll just see how I feel in the morning. And possibly still not go in, just on principle.

Okay, I may have stolen Shemar, but totally not for Scrabble purposes.
I am overwhelmed with the urge to wail "The cake is a lie!" and swoon dramatically. Except I'm totally not getting up or anything.

I felt a bit bad about that, because it had really helped my friend's arthritis pain, so I suggested he ask his doctor about trying it.
I know it's hard to escape that feeling, but thousands of doctors prescribed it and his doctor might have suggested it on his own if your father asked for something stronger. Let the manufacturers and the FDA feel bad. If only.
