It says 1 wild awarded, where is it?

1 wild means a Wild is shuffled into each deck. After that the wilds must be dealt or drawn like any other card at random.

Not a real world scenario, and FH won't do anything to help you win contest or daily high score. Also, not sure it's not the correct play- the strategy in alpax's post has a note about the 2 pair with one Wild! in deck, keeping the higher pair- but it's not clear the way it's referenced.

Thank you. I didn't even think about the contest aspect.
I usually only play vp in the real world where I have a chance to lose real money

I just wanted to try it out by playing a couple of hands, not for the purpose of winning the contest actually.
But your strategy is correct for contest.
