#note wondered between AGAR and GAR mostly, thought about AG instead of GAR to leave the extra lane open given Joey's tendencies, but AGAR seemed to do most of the right things.

#note saw this and VISCOSE for the same amount with EXPLANTS. COSTIVE is there too. I quickly realized it was not worth setting up the 12 row and definitely worth blocking the R of REALISED.

#note quackle likes 11K TWAIN the most. Doubt that's the best play. This keeps things nice and solid and minimizes counterplay.

#note should maybe do LAMENT instead. Never saw that somehow. At first I considered B1 (E)FT, then considered FILM 12F, then this. I wanted to leave 7 in the bag, thought I had very good chances of outrunning. On second thought, LAMENT is likely worse since it's harder to play against 6 in the bag if he doesn't bingo. With 7-in-bag, I have a very good chance of not needing to empty the bag next turn and outrunning bingos. (E)LF B1 is a nice bonus, since it scores while only playing off 2. Quackle prefers B1 (E)FT or (E)LF now, and it makes me wonder whether it matters to prevent the possibility of 2 bingos, or if playing short and keeping on scoring is the right choice. #questionable

#note easier than I thought to win this. I think Joey played too fast again. 5C (AX)IS is 38, could be best. Perhaps if Joey had S? and played AXES or AXIS last turn, it would have put a bit of a damper into the value I perceive behind my previous play. This probably isn't optimal, but I was happy to take a sure win.

#note right idea, but swapping the E for the blank is best by a point. This concept comes up pretty frequently, but is one of the toughest things to get right in endgames.

#note with the real E, this scores 3 more.
