>BethLeech: EGNU 8E GENU +10 10
>SkylerLutz: AEIIORU E7 A.IO +5 5
#note Yikes. Lots of vowels. In hindsight I probably should've exchanged since I only scored five points (short of knowing GIAOUR). In general I struggle to correctly decide to exchange or play through the rack. If anyone has any tips please do share.
>BethLeech: EMOV F10 MOVE +25 35
>SkylerLutz: EEFGIRU 14B FIGURE +36 41
#note Decided to blow up the rack for turnover to snatch a blank. Opens a triple but I'm hoping to bingo back in one of the many open lanes.
>BethLeech: IPRT 15G TRIP +20 55
>SkylerLutz: ?AAEEIU 12E U.EA +8 49
#note Sigh. Time for another vowel dump. Undoubles the A and E and opens more bingo lanes
>BethLeech: ABIIT 11H TIBIA +16 71
>SkylerLutz: ?AAEIIR D4 ARIA +10 59
#note Bigger sigh. Same idea as last turn. Vowel dump that undoubles A and I and opens two more lanes. Also I'm aware of the V hook for VARIA which may come in handy.
>BethLeech: ?CEHLNN 4B CH.NNELs +63 134
>SkylerLutz: ?EIIQTT C13 Q. +22 81
#note Not exactly the draw I was hoping for. QAT would undouble the T but also blocks TIBIA hooks (ELS). Not thrilled keeping double IT but I loath this Q...
>BethLeech: EHRZ L10 H.ZER +34 168
>SkylerLutz: ?EIIOTT H1 TOI.ET +18 99
#note HAZER was very nice. I obviously didn't know BIOTITE. Some more floaters to go with my blank. This game is going down the TOILET...
>BethLeech: DENS 15L SEND +37 205
>SkylerLutz: ?IJNRWX F2 JI.X +34 133
#note Well, I've gone from vowel problems to consonant problems. I stared at this for multiple minutes. I couldn't decide between JIN and JINX. I need vowels to balance out this rack but of course JINX gives back RAX+REX... sigh. Hoping to get feedback on this play in the comments section.
>BethLeech: A 5D .A. +24 229
>SkylerLutz: ?AENRWY 12L .ANY +20 153
#note I obviously didn't know STERNWAY. Short of that, I still need to maximize bingo potential while continuing to score and balance my rack. I'm not sure why ZANY isn't in top 15 choices in quackle. My logic must be inaccurate...
>BethLeech: OORTT 13H TOOT.R +21 250
>SkylerLutz: ?DERSWW 10L .EW +17 170
#note That second W is brutal. Same logic as last time. I figure I can hook HEW with a bingo ending in my S or an N.
>BethLeech: EEFLS O6 FEELS +34 284
>SkylerLutz: ?DELRSW N5 DEW +21 191
#note Sigh, I wish I saw SWiRLED. I stared at this for almost eight minutes. I only found WELDERS which obviously doesn't fit. Kind of lost hope after this turn.
>BethLeech: DDIKO M1 KIDDO +25 309
>SkylerLutz: ?ORSUUV 1M .OR +21 212
#note Wretched draw, let's get this over with...
>BethLeech: MO B2 MO. +14 323
>SkylerLutz: ?ACLSUV 15A VAS +35 247
#note Might as well cut as much spread as I can, VAS scores pretty well.
>BethLeech: ABY A1 BAY +33 356
>SkylerLutz: ?CLPU 9J CUP +28 275
#note (Phoney) hail mary. Didn't see an outplay.
>BethLeech: GLNSU 2L G.N +12 368
>SkylerLutz: ?L J7 La. +4 279
#note Tough game. Tiles did not cooperate and I missed multiple bingos. Though I'm only 972 so my word knowledge isn't that great, but I definitely should have found SWIRLED. Live and learn.
>SkylerLutz: (LSU) +6 285
