>JD: AEOSUWZ G6 WAZ +32 32
#note EOSU seemed to have a better chance of turning into something useful than ESUW.
>Matthew_O'Connor: ?AIIRST I8 SATIRIc +75 89
>JD: DDEKOSU 12H D.OUK +24 56
#note creating an S hook, and also preserving the lane on column F - hence better than DOUKED
>Matthew_O'Connor: AEINOPR 14F PRO.AINE +67 156
#note good decision, APOCRINE here sims much worse because it's so easy for me to kill him on row 15. The S hook on column N is secondary.

>JD: AADEEEN E2 EANED +29 224
>JD: AAENNOR (challenge) +5 229
#note also considered EALE at 13L. The ADEN leave is definitely 10 points better than AE, but there are only 17 vowels left out of 49 unseen, and there's also a blank unseen, so I figured EANED would win a sim - it ends up being dead even between the two.
>Matthew_O'Connor: EJST 10F JES. +35 236
>JD: AAENNOR 11K NOR.A +20 249
#note again, trying to factor in the vowel-consonant ration on this play. Q prefers NEAL at 13J keeping ANOR for 2 extra points. Q thinks I'm more likely to bingo keeping ANOR than AEN, which is interesting - there are a lot of Es to come, and that R is valuable.
>Matthew_O'Connor: CIV 2B CIV.. +20 256
>JD: ?ABEEFN O1 BENEFAc. +89 338
>JD: EEFLMUW (challenge) +5 343
#note I pulled the trigger on BENEFACT even with FINEABLE available, and regretted it once he challenged. It turns out that BENEFACT is deep in my cardbox, so perhaps I tuned into some inner memory reserve.

>Matthew_O'Connor: HMOY (challenge) +5 354
>JD: EILNNOW D6 NOW +30 412
#note happy to see this fit - if Matt bingos on column B, I can likely overlap back on column A and still win. I can also play ENOL here for 5 more.
>Matthew_O'Connor: HMOY B8 HOMY +29 383
>JD: CEEIILN A6 INCLE +64 476
>Matthew_O'Connor: HLRTTVX 12N .X +34 417
>JD: EIU G13 I.. +4 480
#note JEU is unblockable. if I play JEU first I give Matt back better plays for his consonants, so start by playing the I.
