What would be a good strategy for winning?

Hi Don,

I love these simple games and whether there could be a strategy to winning them. Unless I have made a mistake (which would be very likely), the following are the possible combinations of dice rolls:

There are 36 possible dice rolls. Here's the possible results for each number:

1 would be 18 out of the 36
2 would be 19 out of 36
3 would be 14 out of 36
4 would be 13 out of 36
5 would be 10 out of 36
6 would be 10 out of 36
7 would be 6 out of 36
8 would be 7 out of 36
9 would be 5 out of 36
10 would be 5 out of 36

So if possible, I would try to do 9 and 10 first, then 7 & 8, then 5 & 6, then 3 & 4, and save 1 & 2 towards the end.

I had never heard of this game. These is also a variation on this using Letters on the Dice that you would then try to create words from.
