Any speed tips for counting 15s?

Start with 5s and 10s. Every 5 plus any 10 value is a 15 for 2 points.

Then look for 7-8, 6-9, 4-6-5, etc. I group by combinations rather than order.

For runs, I count those next so I dont double count. After runs and pairs, circle back to 15s one more time.

I call out 15s out loud as I count. It helps me remember what I already scored.
