Stage 17: Catch-Up or Wasted Piece

If you waste a piece or two building up the left or center sections, or just came into the stage a couple pieces behind, the second I you need at the end will come before you can use it, and you'll still have the first I in the hold box. However, you can use the first I early, since there's just enough room to maneuver it in:

Stage 17: Accidentally Hold 1st I

An extension of the above catch-up strat. In case you fail to lock the first I before trying to use IHS and bring out the J from the hold box prematurely:

You'll need to waste an I before the last S. Stage 18 becomes an 8-skip.

Stage 18 Catch-Up

If something goes wrong on Stage 17, often you'll need an extra I piece at the end to fill in column 10. Unfortunately, you also need that I piece in the hold box at the start of Stage 18. This backup strat allows you to cope without it:
