>MsSpeller: ?EGNSTZ - +0 0
#note Rd 3. I'm first.
>skaplan31: FIOOPSS 8G POOF +18 18
>MsSpeller: ?EGNSTZ F6 ZESTiNG +96 96
#note Are you serious
>skaplan31: EINPSSV K4 VINES +27 45
#note SPIV was worth considering, but this is much more open and aggressive when I'm already down a lot. I'm not playing scared here.
>MsSpeller: EEIIORU 4H OEU.RE +20 116
#note I was shocked to get a spot to play my incoming bingo.
>skaplan31: ADGINPS 3B SPADING +77 122
#note Yep
>MsSpeller: AEIILNR 2H AIRLINE +72 188
#note I couldn't stop her from bingoing no matter where I play SPADING then.
>skaplan31: ADIIJTY 1L TIDY +35 157
#note In NWL18, I would have made a play involving 2 now illegal words. So this is best in this lexicon.
>MsSpeller: ANORTTU 2A ROUT +18 206
>skaplan31: ADFIIJL 11D JI. +20 177
#note Again, DAGO*, so no plays could have been made up there.
>MsSpeller: ANOTUVW 12B TWO +30 236
#note 1A OWT is 5 more but I can understand this too. I got lanes back as a result which is what I was hoping Jill would do.
>skaplan31: AADEFIL B10 FE.IAL +34 211
#note Again, 1F FAD is worth considering in the previous lexicon. This is fine here to fork nicely.
>MsSpeller: AANNOUV 4D VAN +29 265
>skaplan31: AADEHMO A7 AAHED +35 246
#note This or 15A ALOHA are fine.
>MsSpeller: ADILNOU 15A A.LOD +21 286
>skaplan31: ACKMMOU 14E AMUCK +22 268
#note Getting another line going.
>MsSpeller: CEIINSU 1E ICES +33 319
>skaplan31: ABEMORX H11 BRA.E +30 298
#note While I did not see 12F GEARBOX, I didn't like what it did to the board. I'm gonna have to score and maximize my X with G9 EX or something. Playing on Column 13 was gonna be kinda difficult with this pool, and I really need to draw the blank.
>MsSpeller: EINRUWY 1A EW +27 346
#note 9C WINTERY would have been a really sweet play!
>skaplan31: HMOORTX 13A R.OT +28 326
#note Not doing J8 FOX as that will allow Jill to start closing the board down. I score only 1 less here without burning the X, and Jill clearly won't suspect that I'm keeping it. There's all sorts of scoring ammunition that can help me here.
>MsSpeller: BINRTUY E3 ..Y +14 360
#note She could have really stomped on me by doing 7H BUY. In this case, the value of the X would have gone down quite a bit.
>skaplan31: EEHMOQX 10E Q. +21 347
#note Except, all these high pointers don't help so much when I have the damn Q to deal with! Good thing I can leave 1 in the bag, I was actually expecting BLURTING to come down next turn.
>MsSpeller: ?BINRTU C6 BURNT +15 375
#note Smart play to guarantee herself an out.
>skaplan31: EEGHMOX 9H EX +36 383
#note This or 12H REMEX net me the same spread. Still can't win with too many points on the rack.
>MsSpeller: ?IL 6F .ILl +12 387
#note Her best play is 7I LI(E)r.

Did a good job of being aggressive and maximizing the value of the X, but it just wasn't meant to be once I picked the Q.
