>Ella_Sobel: FY J10 F.Y +17 84
>Heidi_Robertson: ABCEEMR L8 EMBRACE +88 206
#note This game is an embarrassment of riches.
>Ella_Sobel: GINR K5 GRIN +12 96
>Heidi_Robertson: BDENPST 15L DEBT +44 250
>Ella_Sobel: AEVW 12B WAVE +24 120
>Heidi_Robertson: DIINPQS 13L .INQ +30 280
#note Quackle prefers QAID or QADI at C11.

I am fine with this play.
>Ella_Sobel: HNU 13E HUN +15 135
>Heidi_Robertson: DDINPSX I5 DID +26 306
#note Quackle wants me to play SPADIX or PAX in column C ... but meh.
>Ella_Sobel: AINPSUX M2 ATONiES +67 202
>Ella_Sobel: AINPSUX -- -67 135
#note Challenged NES - which honestly, I couldn't remember if it was acceptable or not, but it felt wrong. So good for me - because far too often, I don't listen to my gut.

And also, I have woefully inadequate word knowledge, so often my gut instinct is wrong anyway. A constant dilemma.
>Heidi_Robertson: AINPSUX L4 XI +21 327
#note PANCAKED? No way!

I did consider (NE)XUS - Quackle's next suggestion ... but didn't want to open that triple for Ella.

In the end, I went with this play, which Quackle doesn't even register as an option.
>Ella_Sobel: ?AENOST M8 TAO +16 151
>Heidi_Robertson: AGNPRSU M3 PUG +26 353
#note Lamented there was no P to play through.

GRASP at 14B would have been sweet.


>Ella_Sobel: ??AENST C6 SANTEr.s +66 217
>Heidi_Robertson: AAINORS O13 .A. +12 365
#note So, I almost played AA, rather than just QAT, but then I decided I would rather hold onto that last A, just in case.
>Ella_Sobel: EIIIOOT 8A EE.Y +33 250
>Ella_Sobel: EIIIOOT -- -33 217
#note Incredibly, I again had to force myself to challenge here, as I simply wasn't sure that this was a phony.
>Heidi_Robertson: AINORSV 8A VI.O +24 389
>Ella_Sobel: EY B10 YE. +31 248
>Heidi_Robertson: AGNORSS H11 .OGAS +29 418
>Ella_Sobel: IMO D4 MOI +12 260
>Heidi_Robertson: EJNOORS C3 JO +22 440
#note I meant to do JOE at 14J, but got distracted and forgot when she played MOI, and played JO there instead.
>Ella_Sobel: EIILLNR A7 E.IL +13 273
>Heidi_Robertson: EFNRRST 14H .RF +14 454
#note Surprised that this also Quackle's recommended play.

(I always think I'm missing something way better in situations like this).
>Ella_Sobel: EIILNRT 12L .L +4 277
>Heidi_Robertson: EHINRST 8F S.. +16 470
#note Quackle did not recommend burning the S here. First priority is to block the last bingo lane with something like (U)H...

But I am ever greedy, and hoped I would be able to bingo there myself before Ella.
>Ella_Sobel: EILNORT 15A RETINOL. +77 354
#note No dice. :(

Oh well.
>Heidi_Robertson: EEHINRT N10 THE. +19 489
>Ella_Sobel: O B14 O. +4 358
>Ella_Sobel: (INER) +8 366
