The N is worth 1 points here, so the best plays all use it. Place it on a double or triple square before spending points elsewhere.
The repeated S gives you flexibility: use one copy now and hold the other as a hook or crossing letter.
Two S tiles in hand. Spend one now and hold the other as a hook: next turn it can extend an opponent's word for points you did not have to build yourself.
Lead with NOSES for 5 points if a premium square is free. If not, SENSO keeps the high tile in play without leaving you short on vowels for the next draw.
