>Will: CEJNOTT 8D JETTON +42 42
>Alec: AFLNNRU E5 FUN.RAL +40 40
>Will: ACDEHHI D8 .EHAD +41 83
#note I liked JEHAD because I left an I, but I didn't think of the much safer F6 HATED for more points and much better defense. #visionmedium
>Alec: CEGINNU 13B CUING +33 73
>Will: ?ACHIOT 12F ApHOTIC +83 166
>Alec: AENOSXY 13H AXON +45 118
>Will: EEFINVW F8 .EW +34 200
#note Considered EVINCE, WINCE, and FENCE through the C, but TEW is much safer - don't love keeping FV together, but FW after EVINCE isn't much more exciting.
>Alec: EILNRSY B10 YIN.E +36 154
>Will: DEFINTV H12 ..FT +30 230
>Alec: AELRRSS 9H RASSLER +64 218
>Will: DEINORV A7 VINO +26 256
#note Considered A6 VIDEO; classic give and take between points and bingo%. The RASSLER lanes look pretty appealing for bingos but odds are pretty good that they get blocked. The plays sim in a near dead heat with VIDEO slightly ahead. #tacticssmall
>Alec: DGIIIMR D3 GRIM +23 241
#note When will I learn that I should never keep two I's? D2 MIDI is best. #strategymedium
>Will: ADELRTT 8M TAD +16 272
#note Considered fishing but with a smallish lead it seemed more prudent to block RASSLERS and score a little bit better.
>Alec: DIIPSUW N5 UPW..D +22 263
#note J6 WISS is slightly better because it doesn't keep two I's. #visionsmall
>Will: ?EILORT 15H .RIOLETs +74 346
>Alec: EIIILOS 14M OI +10 273
#note No, Quackle, I'm not playing 10J OI because it blocks the lane on column K. Exchanging IIO is probably best. #strategysmall
>Will: AAEMORS 3B SA.AMORE +76 422
>Alec: DEGIILS H1 DI.GE +27 300
#note I must not have found GIRD somehow. It's odd that Quackle rates DIRGE over 40 points back in valuation, given 4 unseen E's, a clunky pool (which means I am likelier to get a bingo than Will), and the fact that it is--well, seems--easier to play a bingo through a D than through a G. But DIRGE never wins anyway. #findingmedium
>Will: BEEEKQY 2A KEY +29 451
#note Shrug
>Alec: EILOSVZ O1 EVILS +29 329
#note 4H GLOZE is best. It scores well, avoids a potential Q stick, and threatens VIS/GLOZES next turn. #findingmedium (-18.25)
>Will: BBEEPQU K5 EQUE. +28 479
#note Correct
>Alec: AOZ O10 AZO +16 345
#note Incorrect. I was tired and played AZO quickly, but 2E ZA scores 30 and, as I found postmortem, threatens A1 OK to go out. #endgamemedium (-11)
>Alec: (BBP) +18 363
