#note Interesting rack. The only other play I thought of was OLDEN 12B, which looked bad with GH out. I didn't see LUDO L12, but that seems bad since it blocks the big S hook. The alternative worth considering here is just OLDE. Thinking about it now though, I like scoring here and forgetting about the S hook, because there are so many opportunities to score a lot on the left side of the board, and I should just go ahead and try for this.

>Noah: HIJLTVW 8A WITH. +45 407
#note I also considered HAW D10, setting up JET, and WITHE 8A for two more. I didn't think of THAW 10C, which also sets up my J. Actually, the only possible -ZE play at 8A is ADOZE, so it might be better to play WITHE for 47 here, since scoring is really important. And really, I probably should've just played HAW. The total score of HAW and JET is 95. No way do I get anything close to that average after WITHE. So this is a big mistake!
>Ken_Clark: AZ C3 ZA +47 412
>Noah: DDJLNOV D8 .OD.D +30 437
#note I also considered VELD, VEND, and DJIN, not wanting to empty the bag. I ended up deciding on this because, while the leave looks bad, there are a lot of vowels in the pool, and I have the chance at drawing high scoring plays at 12I after this. I also have this chance after VEND, but that doesn't score enough. I thought about just DAD as well, but again, the score seemed to small. But I'm not sure this play is right.
>Ken_Clark: ELO L1 .EL.O +20 432
>Noah: EJLNPVV F10 L.V +21 458
#note I just missed LITAI. I guess playing as if it's not there is correct, since I can't win if Ken sees it, though I don't know if I would've thought of than if I'd seen it myself.
>Ken_Clark: AIILT 12I AIL +16 448
#note Luckily, Ken also missed LITAI.
