>Quackle: EIIIUUW -EIIIUUW +0 0
#note "How to beat Quackle by over 450 points while playing like garbage": episode 1
>Mack: IMNNNRR -INNNR +0 0
#note Quackle wants me to keep IMNR by roughly a point.
>Quackle: AEENOOP -EOO +0 0
>Mack: ?EIIMNR H4 MINcIER +72 72
>Quackle: AAEEINP G8 APE +19 19
>Mack: AEEKLOT G4 OKE +19 91
#note This gives back a lot on row 3 - KENO is probably better for that reason.
>Quackle: AADEINU I9 EAU +13 32
>Mack: ADEELRT 11A RELATED +73 164
#note Given my lead, I clearly should have played for column J on 6 less to avoid opening the board so much. Definitely not playing well this game. But I do happen to be psychic and knew exactly what was about to transpire.
>Quackle: AAADINN 12C ANA +14 46
>Mack: ?GNORWY A8 WOR.YiNG +212 376
#note So undeserved
>Quackle: ADDIINR 13C DID +25 71
>Mack: BIOORUY F6 YO +27 403
#note Somehow I totally missed YOKE. Yikes. BUOY 3D is obviously way better.
>Quackle: AEIINRU -IIU +0 71
>Mack: BDIORSU F2 BUD +18 421
#note Seems as good as anything.
>Quackle: AEINRST J3 STAINER +65 136
#note While the difference in win % is approximately 0.000000% given the score, I simply can't understand why Quackle didn't play GANTRIES/GANISTER here.
>Mack: AIOORSX K4 OX +38 459
#note 12H IXORA looks a bit better to avoid giving back a lot of points on column N, but I didn't play it for 2 reasons: 1) I didn't see it, and 2) Even if I had seen it, I wanted 700 at this point and playing fewer tiles increased my odds of getting that done.
>Quackle: CGILPTW L1 TWIG +26 162
>Mack: AEIORSS 3I O.S.A +22 481
>Quackle: ACCGLNP 3E C.P +23 185
>Mack: EILNRST F11 .L +6 487
>Quackle: ACGHLNQ -LQ +0 185
>Mack: EIINRST 1H SNIT.IER +122 609
#note Wow
>Quackle: ACGHIMN N1 .M +8 193
>Mack: EHOSTUZ 9A .UZO +23 632
#note Eek. Totally spaced out on the S(CUP) hook. ZEST there is much better.
>Quackle: ACGHINU 15A .AUCHING +104 297
>Mack: EEHQSTT F14 Q. +31 663
>Quackle: EFIOOVV -EFOOVV +0 297
>Mack: EEHRSTT E5 HET +21 684
#note E5 TETHS or 8J ETHERS score 18 more, but I decided I really wanted another bingo here
>Quackle: ABEFIJL G13 JI. +29 326
>Mack: EEORSTV 13G .O +9 693
#note The bingo lane from O1 never even occurred to me. Wow this is bad.
>Quackle: ABEFFLOV I13 EF +17 343
>Mack: EELRSTV K9 SVELTER +77 770
#note Ironically, missing RESTROVE gets me 798 instead of 794 had I seen it.

I hope you enjoyed this wholly undeserved show of (LUCK)^∞!
>Mack: (ABFLOV) +28 798
