>Ken: ?ADFOTU 8D FADeOUT +78 78
>Max_Panitch: AM 7I MA +16 16
>Ken: EEEILOY F8 .OYLIE +18 96
#note DOYLIE is no good. It's DOYLY and DOYLEY
>Max_Panitch: AEIIKRT 10B TERI.AKI +67 83
>Ken: DEEGITY 9A GEY +22 118
>Max_Panitch: AAW 6I AWA +33 116
>Ken: ADEILTZ 5K ZED +48 166
#note I like 5K ZED because of the ZEDA hook. Also the leave AILT is decent given the E to work through on line 13
>Max_Panitch: AIOU M3 AU.IO +14 130
>Ken: AILOOPT N2 PITA +30 196
#note Missed E5 TILAPIA and N2 LIPA and A4 APOLOG. I think all are better than my PITA.
>Max_Panitch: ELOP O1 POLE +32 162
>Ken: DGLNOOU A4 DUOLO. +30 226
>Max_Panitch: CDRRU 13B CRUD.R +20 182
>Ken: ?EGGHNS K5 ..G +19 245
#note Also worth considering K5 ZAGS because it scores more points and the S isn't essential for bingoing on the next turn. However, I'm more focused on making the play that gives me the best chance to bingo next turn, and that's K5 ZAG.
>Max_Panitch: IMNX N7 MINX +33 215
>Ken: ?EGHINS 4A .EaSHING +78 323
#note Also worth considering O8 NEIGH and NEIGHS. Actually NEIGHS might be best because it blocks the triple, doesn't leave an S hook for a bingo next turn (there are three S tiles unseen), scores a ton of points, and leaves the blank.
>Max_Panitch: AFN H1 FAN. +24 239
>Ken: CEEENNO M10 ONCE +21 344
#note M9 EOCENE definitely the play (I didn't see it). L2 ONCE is better than where I played it. Quackle doesn't hate my ONCE, but I think it's bad. I did not see the ONCET hook at the time. It's totally unnecessary to create that opening, and I get burned next turn.
>Max_Panitch: JLOST 14J JOLTS +63 302
>Ken: EEHINQV 7C QI +26 370
>Max_Panitch: BNR D12 B.RN +14 316
>Ken: EEEHNVW 15A WHE. +30 400
#note Suddenly it's a game with two bingo lanes available for Max (smart last play by him). I want to block the more dangerous lane, not empty the bag, and score enough points to recover from any bingo he might hit next turn. I also like WHEN because I'll have WHENEVER if I draw one of the two R tiles remaining. Of note, EVER is left in the bag meaning that my opponent can make the same play, but that would not be enough to win.
>Max_Panitch: EIRRSTT 2E STR.ITER +62 378
