>New_Player_1: CIINORS -- -77 16
>Alec: ADFLNRT H7 F.RL +7 41
#note I can't play K9 DAFT because of CROSTINI, and most other plays allow INCISOR. H6 FLU sims best.
>New_Player_1: CIINORS G3 CIONI. +20 36
>New_Player_1: CIINORS -- -20 16
#note I assume Nigel transposed the C and I.
>Alec: ADILNPT 10F NI. +5 46
#note K10 APT allows CROSTINI, G6 PLICA allows PORCINIS, I4 DINAR allows CRINOIDS, and most other plays allow INCISOR. NIL is a bad play. I wanted to keep the A for ZA, and the best play that does that is to exchange D. The best play overall is K9 DA. The leave is similar to NIL, but unlike NIL, DA scores reasonably well.
>New_Player_1: CIINORS 11D CION +16 32
>Alec: ADILOPT K9 DAL +22 68
#note Championship Player prefers D8 PLACOID, but given Nigel has an S, I'm not playing that. D7 OPTICAL is next best. The sim agrees that OPTICAL is optimal. I tunneled on the Z and didn't see my options through the C. (-6)

>Alec: EEHNOST I1 HONESTE. +69 201
>New_Player_1: AINY H1 AYIN +49 186
>Alec: DGOORSX 14L SOX +34 235
#note 14I OXO is best despite that it looks overaggressive and keeps four consonants. (-9)
>New_Player_1: DEW 8L W.ED +36 222
>Alec: DEFGOOR 3C FORDO..G +28 263
#note I saw FOREDOING! But I thought I was confusing it with FOREGOING.
>New_Player_1: EEM 4C EME +25 247
>Alec: EEEHQTT 8A THE.E +30 293
>New_Player_1: AEUV 4K VA.UE +20 267
#note L1 UVEA is 22. Nigel may be blocking bingos through the D.
>Alec: ADEGQRT 5A QAT +18 311
#note 5B GRATED is best. GRATED and many similar plays hit the DWS on 5E, score ~30 points, and generate more turnover for the unseen blanks at the cost of keeping the Q. The blanks are more important than the Q. (-8)
>New_Player_1: ?AAEIST 13A ArISTAE +78 345
>Alec: DEGNRTV A12 V.NG +36 347
>New_Player_1: AY 6B YA +33 378
>Alec: ADEIORT K4 .IE +12 359
#note I was hoping for I?, which would give me bingos in two places (15A GORDITAS, O6 ADDITORY). I missed 15M OI, a better version of my play, which would give me GRADIENT and RADIATED. Quackle strongly wants me to fish an O; it picks 6I TO. Nothing wins given Nigel's actual rack. Speaking of which, can you find his best play? (It isn't NUDITIEs.)
>New_Player_1: ?EIINTU 1D UINt..ITE +63 441
#note They call him Nigel for a reason.
