>Johnny_Utah: AADFINW 8F WAIF +20 20
#note Casual game. Best play.
>Harriette_Lakernick: AEHT 7G HAET +29 29
>Johnny_Utah: AADINNY 6I DAN +17 37
#note 6F YA is apparently best but this isn't far behind. I also considered F8 WAY and 6I DAY before settling on this.
>Harriette_Lakernick: DEIOPRT 9H DIOPTER +75 104
#note Excellent fit by Harriette! Either of the DIOPTER/DIOPTRE variants fit at H9 or I6 with any of the plays I considered on my last turn so I can't feel too bad.
>Johnny_Utah: AIIMNVY 5J MAVIN +29 66
#note MAYVIN is a word and may be the play at this spot, but MAVIN has value as well due to the Y set up at N6.
>Harriette_Lakernick: AELO 10E ALOE +11 115
>Johnny_Utah: HIMNRWY N2 WHI.Y +44 110
#note You'd think WHINY would be less dangerous than WHINNY but looking back WHINNY seems a little better. Let's call WHINY the second best play behind WHINNY.
>Harriette_Lakernick: AKO O1 KOA +31 146
#note Then again, OAK would have come down instead of KOA for a ton.
>Johnny_Utah: BEMNNRZ 11C ZEN +28 138
#note I missed 8M REZ, but ZEN is 3rd on the Championship Player so it's a respectable play. E9 BARMEN is also a good option. REZ would have partially prevented what comes next though.
>Harriette_Lakernick: EILRSTT O9 SLITTER +85 231
#note Best play.
>Johnny_Utah: BIMNORX - +0 138
#note Sadly, I challenged. This is one of those phony looking words that's actually good. Besides, I was down by close to 100 after this.
>Harriette_Lakernick: AFG 12D FAG +27 258
>Johnny_Utah: BIMNORX 10J XI +54 192
#note Best play.
>Harriette_Lakernick: EGIOSST 6A STOGIES +68 326
#note EGOISTS is 2 more in this spot but I think STOGIES is a little safer. STOGIES has the highest win % at 96.25% out of all the plays.
>Johnny_Utah: BMNOORU 11I MONO +32 224
#note I had the right idea, but BOURN in this spot is a little better to shed the U. A2 UNBOSOM and A6 SUNROOM seem like great plays with the lead but trailing by 134 points, I can't afford to block a triple triple lane.
>Harriette_Lakernick: EEGU A6 .EGUE +18 344
>Johnny_Utah: ?BCDORU D1 DORBU. +24 248
#note I love this play. This opens another triple triple, and gets rid of the B and the U. It won't be easy to shut down the board now.
>Harriette_Lakernick: ARVY L11 .VARY +30 374
>Johnny_Utah: ??BCCIO 2B Br.CCOlI +86 334
#note One of my best finds of the year! I considered the 80 point BROCCOLO at 3C hoping to draw a Q setup right out of the bag but then I thought that could be blocked too easily. This BROCCOLI seems fine.
>Harriette_Lakernick: EEEIRST 14E REESTIE. +62 436
>Harriette_Lakernick: EEEIRST -- -62 374
>Johnny_Utah: ADLLNPQ 1G PALL +27 361
#note We have daylight! In retrospect, 15H PALLY seems better knowing Harriette's whole rack. Was this one of the plays that could have proved to be the difference maker?
>Harriette_Lakernick: EER M13 REE +17 391
>Johnny_Utah: DEJNNQR 4M Q. +22 383
#note Rough draw. JENNY was blocked. This is best at least.
>Harriette_Lakernick: EISTUU 3I TUI +8 399
>Johnny_Utah: DEJNNR M7 JE.D +20 403
>Harriette_Lakernick: ESU G12 SUE +12 411
>Harriette_Lakernick: (NNR) +6 417
#note This game may have been a victory if I did a few things differently, especially the ZEN and challenging SLITTER sequence. Still had some nice finds, though.
