Answer on next Note
>Darin_True: ?BEEELL I8 .EELaBLE +65 79
#note This was a nice find by Darin, only playable bingo.

(PINOTAGE)
>Matthew_Ridout: ACEINOT 15C ACONIT. +36 52
#note The playable bingo here is comparatively harder than my first miss. But I even looked for something with this affix and came up dry. Answer on next Note.
>Darin_True: YZ 10H Y.Z +35 114
>Matthew_Ridout: EKLMORY 12H M.YOR +24 76
#note YOK 14E best. Mine 10th. At least the differences between them all were tiny.
>Darin_True: AFH 14G HA.F +25 139
#note I recently ran across the word HALFNESS. I'm now daydreaming about it coming into play this game, maybe late for a challenge even. (It doesn't.)
>Matthew_Ridout: EEKLLNT B11 KNELT +28 104
#note LEK 13E best, mine 5th.

TACO NITE!!
>Darin_True: IQ K5 QI +25 164
>Matthew_Ridout: AEILNRS L3 ALINERS +81 185
#note Gentle Reader, if you think I'm gonna apologize for a high-prob play like that, think AGAYN*.
>Darin_True: ?AINNOR H1 RAIsONN. +71 235
#note He hated the R-placement in particular, but in fact this was his only bingo play here.
>Matthew_Ridout: EGINOTV 1H .EVOTING +89 274
#note Sorry. not sorry :P

Besides, I'll crap this bed hard later.
>Darin_True: AIU 12A U.AI +10 245
>Matthew_Ridout: EHOUWWX 13A H.X +49 323
#note Two plays actually beat this with CP, if just. XU G3 and WOW 11K.

I get that having those W's without the H is bad, but that's a 14-pt. giveaway

I've come back to have an 81% chance to win.
>Darin_True: DOS M3 DOS +28 273
>Matthew_Ridout: BEEOUWW 11K WOW +30 353
#note CP likes extending to WOWEE a shade better. 87% to win.
>Darin_True: EIV 8L .IVE +21 294
>Matthew_Ridout: BEEGRTU 11D BUG +16 369
#note CP likes BUG but at G3. At this point, there is little difference between the good choices. all are 95-97% to win. I decided to take away the S-hook bingo possibility for column E.
>Darin_True: ADIOPRR 4A AIRDROP. +72 366
#note So he gets more for this bingo lane I left open for him than PRERADIO in column O, but gives me a trip trip lane.

And I can hammer it. But will I?....
>Matthew_Ridout: DDEERST A1 DER.TED +27 396
#note Missed the triple triple. Weird one. Was a time I had that sort of thing in hand. I also missed the far-less powerful bingo in column O. Answers in the next Note.

(But I'm still 87% to win)
>Darin_True: AAJ N6 JA.A +30 396
#note DREADEST, DESERTED
>Matthew_Ridout: FOSSTUU B6 FOUS +31 427
>Matthew_Ridout: FOSSTUU -- -31 396
#note I'm 100% to win. FOU gives me the game by 1 point.

But I'm so damn certain it takes an S, I decide to take what I think are an extra couple points with FOUS*.

It's challenged off. Wailing and gnashing of teeth are my fate.
>Darin_True: AEMT B6 MATE +25 421
