Try it when

  • minimization is worth 12 points before any pangram bonus.
  • It uses exactly seven unique letters, which makes it a pangram candidate when the hive matches those letters.
  • Watch the repeated-letter pattern (I x4, M x2, N x2); those are easy points to miss when scanning quickly.
  • The TION ending makes this a useful pattern check after you try the MI start.
