>Jim_Burlant: CILLNOU 8D CULLION +74 74
#note I almost missed this as I was about to put down UNCOIL when I finally recognized the 7. This is best, and it had another benefit:
>Mike_Willis: ACDEITU - +0 0
#note Lost challenge.
>Jim_Burlant: ??KOQST H7 Q. +11 85
#note The only 8 in this rack is a word I didn't know, KAMOTIQS, which plays at H3 for 69. As bingo misses go, this isn't much of a mistake. Not knowing that, I wasted way too much time looking down the E column for the 8 that Quackle confirms I don't have. I consider splitting the blanks, but couldn't convince myself to pull the trigger on QUOiT or QUOTa for 26. A sim says any of the options - the H3 bingo, QUOiT/QUOTa, or this - are as good as any other. Style preference. :-)
>Mike_Willis: BPU 9I PUB +19 19
>Jim_Burlant: ??EKOST C2 sOcKETS +80 165
#note The problem with two blanks in one rack is that it reduces me to a finding game instead of playing a choosing game. SKaTOlE C8 scores 88, and 10I STENOKY scores 85.
>Mike_Willis: GINRUV D8 .URVING +26 45
>Jim_Burlant: AEFHIRT 5C .HAF +28 193
#note It looks like there should be an 8, but there isn't. This is best.
>Mike_Willis: ADDY K9 .ADDY +24 69
>Jim_Burlant: AEEIRRT 4E TEARIER +65 258
#note Only bingo.
>Mike_Willis: EHRTZ 3J HERTZ +41 110
>Jim_Burlant: ACEEITW 5J WAE +27 285
#note Any number of good choices here at 5J - TWEE, TWAE, TAWIE, and this. Any is as good as the other,. and they pretty much look identical atop a sim.
>Mike_Willis: DMPU 2G DUMP +33 143
>Jim_Burlant: CEEINOT F7 E.ECTION +68 353
#note Only bingo. 99.99% to win. What miracle can Mike conjuire to win this game?
>Mike_Willis: GL 10J G.L +16 159

>Mike_Willis: ADEIORS M8 ROADIES +73 232
>Jim_Burlant: AEFGSTX 6L FAX +34 438
#note Board blindness. N9 EX scores 56. Fortunately the difference is equity at this point. I'm still 100% to win.
>Mike_Willis: ABN 8L B.AN +27 259
>Jim_Burlant: EEGJSTW 15F STEW +32 470
#note Just in case he's got a SATINE 7 in that rack.
