#note Quackle prefers 4G DOTTLE. I saw it, but it exhausts the top right quadrant and makes it hard to get a bingo. Also, DITTO scores 3 more points. (-1.5)

>Alec: AEEFLTU 4H FEL.A +24 260
#note I missed FAULT in the same place. It is best. I also missed 14E FUEL, which is slightly better than FELLA. (-4)

>New_Player_1: BJO 3G JOB +35 383
>Alec: BELLMOT 11G BO.MLET +22 419
#note So many choices here: 11G or 11H BOOMLET, A12 LOFT, 11G BLOOM, E11 BOOM, BOOT, or MOOL, 5E BLOT, BOLT, or MOLT, 15B MELL, MELT, or METOL... I saw the ?SS unseen and decided to go for turnover and the potential exchange: I play BOOMLET, Chris plays a bingo, I play a bingo out and win. I considered Quackle's pick, LOFT, which has the benefit of blocking many row 15 bingos but doesn't get the turnover I'd like and keeps the unideal BELM. A benefit of BLOOM that I didn't consider is that it keeps the E for AXE and makes it likelier that I get a bingo if I don't draw the blank. I don't like the E11 plays because they give up S hooks (except TOOM, but it keeps BLL), and BLOOM outclasses the 5E plays. The 15B plays give up the E, and what do I do after Chris's bingo? I like BLOOM best.
