>Will: ILNNRSW 8G WINN +14 14
>Jason: ?AINRSX J8 .IX +26 26
>Will: AHLRRSV H6 VR.L +7 21
#note Was debating between VRIL# and VIRL and somehow neglected to consider how nice it would be to block NIXE given that I don't have an E. I made a lot of mistakes in this game but this might be the one I'm most ashamed of because I think of myself as being beyond this sort of thing by now.
>Jason: ?AAENRS 11E NARAsES +85 111
>Will: AHMORST 10D HOM +26 47
#note I have never seen HARMOST# before. HOM sims evenly with 12H HOSTA.
>Jason: BILNNOT H11 .BOIL +30 141
>Will: AAGRSTT G11 .AG +15 62
#note Tanked on this turn for very long time, should've just played this quickly. Also considered plays with WINNA, but I really need that hook to stay open. Dismissed the plays at 9C quickly as idiotic.
>Jason: DEMNNOT 14H .NTONED +20 161
>Will: ANQRSTT 9C QAT +30 92
#note ST blindness. Damn. 12K TRANQ is killer.
>Jason: IJKMOPT L12 JI.K +40 201
>Will: CIINRST K2 CITRINS +76 168
>Jason: EIMOOPT J5 OP +22 223
>Will: EEFGTYZ 13K Z.TE +44 212
#note Considered ZITE, 15L KEEF and 4H FYTTE here. Unfortunately I neglected to notice that KEEF preserves the huge Z bomb for next turn, not just with ZO at 13K but also ZEE at 13M, whereas ZITE scores only a few more points than KEEF and leaves clunky garbage with no obvious place to play aside from row 12 if I'm lucky to play something hooking TONY. I score 13 more points on average on my next turn after KEEF compared to ZITE thanks to Z bombs as well as much nicer plays hooking TONY like ZINGY, ZLOTY etc.
>Jason: EIMOSTW F10 ..W +16 239
>Will: AEEFGUY L4 AGUE +25 237
#note This sets up solid scores with ORGY plays for next turn, but it doesn't seem that likely that they'll stay open. Still, something like L3 FAE blocking the C in CITRINS, which AGUE does not do, was very tempting, especially after MAW. I figured the block of the I might be enough to survive one more turn, after which an ORGY play might help me take a lead.
>Jason: EIMORST 2F MORTI.ES +70 309
>Will: CEFFITY 1L FIEF +53 290
>Jason: AEHILRS O1 .LASHIER +95 404
>Will: CDEETUY H1 D.EY +36 326
#note Somehow missed 3C CUTEY, though I'm in the 1% win range now.
>Jason: BEOORVY 3C ORBY +25 429
>Will: ?CDEETU D1 CU.E +18 344
#note Brutal time to overook CORBY, a TWL word I know cold - amazingly, no bingos there.
>Jason: ADEGOPV M7 PAV +23 452
>Will: ?AADELT 12L .A +12 356
#note I have seen DAYTALE# before but don't know it well enough to spot it under pressure
>Jason: DEEGOUU 5B GUDE +20 472
>Will: ?ADELOT 7A LODEsTA. +67 423
>Will: (EOU) +6 429
