#note I couldn't come up with anything I particularly liked here. The idea with this is that a play at 12A-D shuts the board down pretty well in the short term. Even after looking at all of Quackle's choices, everything has downsides, so I'm going to say this is maybe not so bad.

#note Just setting up KYE for next turn. Not a very inspired play. It's probably not worth it to make a low-scoring blocking play like, say, YAE at 12C here (which I considered), but there are some clearly superior plays that I missed. YOICK is the standout for sure - scores 48 and kills a lane - and there's also the nifty FYLE at I8 and KYE at 9K.

#note I saw PUBIC immediately while entering this, so not sure why I didn't see it in game, but other than that this seems okay. I could do BI at 9L to score 10 more points and take out the lane from the I, but then he could play to the triple and open a better lane while scoring more, so that's not right. The only other thing that I'm thinking of now (didn't consider it in game) is playing the S at C13 to take out S-----S bingos, which are a real possibility (S-----Y also possible).
>Winter: ?ALNRSU 7H .iURNALS +59 304
#note INSULARS
>Bill: BGIMRSZ O7 .IB +15 357
#note Ugh, look at the pool - I almost certainly don't need to worry about another bingo or even a particularly high score here. And even if I am worrying about a bingo, 9L BIZ would deal with it. There aren't even any E's left. I played them all 8 turns ago.
>Winter: DNOY 13L YOND +30 334
>Bill: GIMQRSZ C1 QIS +38 395
#note I got the Q but I also got an I back. The tile gods have a weird sense of humor.
