>Evans: ACGHIPR 8F GRAPHIC +86 86
>Carl: AFIOQUU L8 .OQUI +32 32
#note I dithered between this and QUOIF, but FOU 7H sims slightly ahead of either. (-1)
>Evans: OWY K11 YOW +30 116
>Carl: AEEFGTU 14J FEAGUE +46 78
#note My Collins knowledge is pretty weak. I've studied a fair number of words, but not as rigorously as I've studied TWL. FEAGUE seemed vaguely familiar, and after several minutes I decided I couldn't have just made it up. The good thing about Collins is that the exotic words tend to stick out more.
>Evans: ?IMOSSZ O8 ISOZyM.S +222 338
#note I challenge mostly because it's hopeless if I don't. I'll win the game so seldom after ISOZYMES that 99% sure isn't enough.
>Carl: ?DDEEET 15E DElETED +91 169
#note I didn't know DEEDEsT# or STEEDED#. (-4)
>Evans: IIORV E10 VIROI. +20 358
>Carl: AFGIJNR 10N J. +25 194
#note Better than JAGIR# 12A because I need multiple miracles to come back, and JAGIR# offers an easy scoring opportunity for Evans, decreasing volatility.
>Evans: ANNO E5 NONA +24 382
>Carl: ACFGINR N2 FARCING +83 277
>Evans: EILNRTU H1 RETINUL. +77 459
#note (Scored as 74)
>Carl: ILOOSTU 7H .OU +14 291
>Evans: NV 3M V.N +12 471
>Carl: IKLOOST 2A SOOTLIK. +78 369
>Carl: IKLOOST -- -78 291
#note Willing to try anything at this point.
>Evans: PR 14D R.P +21 492
>Carl: IKLOOST 3B TOOLKI.S +78 369
#note This was pretty cool! I slapped it down immediately, knowing it wasn't good in TWL, but it turns out to be acceptable in Collins! Thing is, I knew and saw LOOKIST on the previous turn but didn't bother to notice that it now plays at C8. Dave pointed it out after the game.
>Evans: AEELNRT K2 ELATER.N +72 564
>Carl: AAABBHY 4A BABY +44 413
#note AAH BABY!
>Evans: DEILMST C8 MILDEST +78 642
>Carl: AAAEHWX 12C .A.WAX +48 461
>Evans: DEET B6 DEET +15 657
#note I suggested DE(M)E(AGRAPHIC) to push him over 700.
