#player2 Orry Orry
>Alec: GHOPSUX 8G GOX +22 22
#note 8F PUGH is best, setting up the X at 7G. #findingmedium
>Orry: AACEET 7E ACETA +25 25
>Orry: AACEET -- -25 0
>Alec: FHOPSSU 7H POUFS +25 47
#note 9H HUP, the sim winner, is extremely defensive, allowing Orry an average of only 16 points next turn; but I don't like that it keeps the F. I like POUFS because it unloads FU and sets up the H at 8L. Although a play like K7 FACTA would make the spot hard to use. #tacticssmall
>Orry: AACEET K7 .ACETE +22 22
>Alec: ?HIOSTZ J12 TIZ +34 81
#note I see the merit in Quackle's pick J10 HIT, that TIZ blocks the H spot at J10 and the Z can consistently score well. But I have a blank, and the H is better for bingos. #tacticssmall
>Orry: ACEM L10 MACE +32 54
>Alec: ?HNORSU L3 ONRU.H +35 116
#note There is a nine-letter bingo available, but ONRUSH is better anyway.
>Orry: ADEI 14I A.IDE +25 79
#note H3 HORN(PO)UtS
>Alec: ?AEGSSY N8 GAYnESS +118 234
>Orry: AINOV O5 AVION +35 114
>Alec: BDNNOQR 15F BOND +24 258
>Orry: ILNVY N1 VINYL +24 138
>Alec: AIINQRR 2M Q. +11 269
#note Apparently it is best to ignore row 1 and play G8 GRIN, setting up F10 QI. #tacticsmedium
>Orry: EJO K3 JOE +35 173
>Alec: AIINORR 3K ..I. +44 313
>Orry: ALRTU 14B ULTRA +20 193
>Alec: AIKNORR 13E OKRA +20 333
#note The same word plays at 6E for 3 more points and blocks the -ER lane on row 5. I think I saw it. My play is more defensive, blocking the lanes on columns D and E without opening any new lanes. #tacticssmall
>Orry: OW 9H WO +25 218
>Alec: EIINRSU -IU +0 333
#note UNI plays at O11 and 15A. I have no idea why O11 gets a better win chance; 15A scores more and blocks column C. #findingmedium
>Orry: AHI 15A AHI +25 243
#note Punished for missing UNI.
>Alec: EIINRSW 12C WIN +15 348
#note No, Quackle, there's no way I play 12A REWIN. Although WIN opens a lane on column B making T(WIN). Maybe M13 REI?
>Orry: ?EELRTU 10B ELUTERs +68 311
>Orry: ?EELRTU -- -68 243
#note It took me a few seconds to realize this was phony.
>Alec: BEGIRST 10J G.. +10 358
#note Fishing is not the right play here, for I do not hit often enough, and once Orry makes his play of M13 LEU I have to start blocking again. I should take the points with 10D GIBES, the sim winner. #tacticsmedium
>Orry: ?EELRTU M13 L.U +12 255
>Alec: BEIPRST 11B PET +12 370
#note This is the most defensive option I found, blocking lanes on column 2 and row 10 while giving back only a P. Championship Player doesn't recognize PET, but it wins the sim inferring ?EERT. Orry has a bingo 30% of the time after PET and over 60% of the time with the other plays that sim well.
>Orry: ?DEENRT 5D pRETEND.. +68 323
#note This is Orry's only bingo.
>Alec: ABFIRRS H1 FIBR. +33 403
#note Orry cannot have a bingo, so this is safe.
>Orry: DEEELMT 6C DEEM +26 349
>Alec: AIRS B5 SARI +16 419
>Alec: (ELT) +6 425
