>Mack: EFINOPT 8G FOP +16 16
#note 8D FEINT briefly crossed my mind, but I thought EINT was at least 8 points better than OP. Quackle agrees, with FOP valued about 5 points higher than FEINT.
>Will: EKLNOPU H7 L.OKUP +15 15
>Mack: CEINQST 11E INQ.EST +64 80
>Will: ENORUXY 12K OXY +28 43
>Mack: CMNRTTV M11 M.C +20 100
#note As much as NRTTV is an ugly leave, I thought 20 points was worth it. At first Quackle values exchanging keeping CR at two points better than MYC, but after a 1000 iteration sim MYC is neck and neck on top with exchanging. The best exchanges keep CR, RT, and CRT, according to the 1000 iteration sim.
>Will: ?EINRSU 13C URINoSE +77 120
>Mack: NORTTVV -TVV +0 100
>Will: AEEEEOU -AEEEEOU +0 120
>Mack: DGNNORT 14I DONG +11 111
#note This play barely edges out E10 NITID on the sim, probably due to its volatility. NITID makes it very hard for Will to score at all unless he has a bingo, whereas this opens row 15 in two spots.
>Will: AABEEIO 15L OBIA +25 145
>Mack: LNRSTTZ E10 Z.T. +13 124
#note I considered LUTZ C12, but even though it preserves a much better leave, placing the Z in the middle of the triple lane is very dangerous. Quackle actually prefers exchanging down to RST, since LNRST is too prone to racks having 1, or even worse, 0 vowels.
>Will: AADEEIW F11 .A.A +8 153
>Mack: ELNRRST C12 N.RL +4 128
#note I was debating between this, exchange LR, and NERTZ 10A.
I decided against NERTZ since it was way too volatile, and wanted to partially close row 15 and thus chose NURL over exchanging.
>Will: DEEEIIW 15A WI.ED +30 183
>Mack: EEOORST 14B O.E +13 141
>Will: EEILNNT I6 LI.E +14 197
>Mack: EEEORST J6 OE +11 152
>Will: ?AEINNT 5D INANEsT +71 268
>Mack: AEEMRST D1 EMER.TAS +74 226
>Will: AABEORT 1C A.ROBAT +27 295
>Mack: AADRRTV 8A VAR. +21 247
>Will: EFGGHLU 2F FEH +39 334
>Mack: ADJRSTW 3C J.W +26 273
#note Quackle prefers JAWED in the same spot, but I wanted to keep a more bingo prone leave as well as the last A.
>Will: CGGHLUV B6 CL.G +13 347
>Mack: ADERSTY 3H STRAYED +80 353
>Will: EGHIUUV N1 GU.E +12 359
#note Very nice play by Will, forcing me to block VUGH 1L while preserving UH 15H.
>Mack: DII 1L DI. +7 360
>Will: HIUV 15H UH +22 381
>Mack: I F5 .I +4 364
>Mack: (IV) +10 374
