#note Two days after a completely sleepless night is always a train wreck. I tried to focus extra hard to make up for my inability to focus, but it was a lost cause. Here, EERIE 8G or 8H is correct. (-1) #leaveevaluationsmall

#note This time RICH or RICHER 8G is best. (-1) #leaveevaluationsmall
>Jeff_F: DEILLNW I6 INDWELL +79 79
#note I held this play for almost a minute. I didn't have any panic moments on Day 1, but now, here we were. In the moment, *neither* of these words seemed right. When I played CHIRRE, it seemed like it only took an N and an S, but CHIRRED looked like a phony... I felt groggy and lethargic... today was going to be such a bad day... and after a minute, it seemed clear that both words were acceptable, and I released the hold, with some trepidation about what other lapses of word knowledge would transpire that day.

#note OUR G6. (-2) #leaveevaluationsmall
>Jeff_F: EGOT D4 GOET. +18 114
#note I wasn't sure of GOETH either, but I didn't challenge; it seemed like it was probably added a few years ago.
>Carl: EEINSST 13G SESTINE +81 141
>Jeff_F: ACIIOV L9 AVIO.IC +30 144
#note I held this for a while too, thinking that AVIONICS might be a sticky S. It's a weighty decision: Jeff just blocked OBLIGED 12G for a butt-ton of points! But after some consideration, it seemed clear that AVIONIC was a word, and RADIONICS was the sticky S. I was a real spazz on Sunday.

#note I know I said I'd stop mentioning it, but, dang!
>Jeff_F: FNOT 12A FONT +28 212
>Carl: ?DNORVW E3 VOW +31 285
#note Quackle likes DROWN or WORD O7 here; column O is just too dangerous with so many As unseen. (-3%, #strategymedium)

#note Quackle's play here is QuANT/QANaT J2, taking out Row 1. (-1.5% win percentage #beingasorcerer)
