>Morris_Greenberg: ABEGORU 8D BROGUE +24 24
>Jared_Cappel: BDELMPU J2 PLUMBED +87 87
>Jared_Cappel: BDELMPU -- -87 0
#note Oh man. I had PLUMBED in other spots, but I was about 75-80% confident on BROGUING*. For 10 points, I think I should probably just play it safer? Especially knowing how strong Morris' word knowledge has been getting lately.
>Morris_Greenberg: AADLOOS G7 A.O +6 30
#note This is so bad...I looked through every letter of BROGUE to make sure there wasn't an 8 and didn't even register PLUMBED played on top of BROGUE. I thought after the game I would've played OD(E)A if I considered this correctly, but that gives back BUMPED for 51 points! ODAS J5 and ADO 7I are the plays Quackle likes here.
>Jared_Cappel: BDELMPU 7I PLUMBED +77 77
#note This is not the sort of mistake Morris normally mistakes, so I got super lucky here. He's so analytical that I hate giving him any extra information as he normally uses it against me.
>Morris_Greenberg: ADDLOSV N4 DOV. +16 46
#note Considered SALVO(E)D and LOV(E)D here too in the same spot. Ultimately I didn't like how those slotted the D at N8. Quackle likes DOV(E) or LAV(E)D to at least give a high-scoring S spot if Jared cashes in at O8 after LAVED.
>Jared_Cappel: ?AAACEJ E5 AJA. +22 99
#note Holding the blank, I should probably be playing RAJA here instead. For some reason that didn't even cross my mind.
>Morris_Greenberg: ADGILRS F7 G.LIARDS +70 116
#note I almost missed Jared created the valid lane for me here.
>Jared_Cappel: ?ACEEVX 11A EXCAV.tE +88 187
#note Considered EXCLAVED* as I wanted to avoid putting the E in the 3x3 lane if I could help it, but I didn't want to risk EXCLAVED being challenged off. Quackle thinks its neck and neck to play EXCAVATE where I played it vs. two spots over. Both have their dangers.
>Morris_Greenberg: ?EEHITW A4 EyEWHIT. +92 208
#note I thought this was valid, lucky it stayed.
>Jared_Cappel: NOOSTUW 4H NUTWOO.S +78 265
#note I held Morris on EYEWHITE* as I'd never seen it. It seemed plausible as a word and I had a bingo here, so I elected not to challenge. Not sure if I would have pulled the trigger on a challenge if I didn't have a bingo lined up, but EYEWHITE does score 92 so I should be challenging fairly often on words I'm unsure of, even if he did have alternatives like THEWIER available.
>Morris_Greenberg: FIIMOPS B9 FI. +24 232
#note I completely missed MISO 8L here for 58! What a nice fit. This is second best (probably in part because it retains MISO), but ~8% worse per Quackle.
>Jared_Cappel: AEFILOS C9 FE.AL +44 309
#note Was about to play OF when I saw this spot. Adding the I for FECIAL is an improvement (a better leave, and sets up my S). FOLIA also sims better than OF. I saw FOLIA and thought it might be better, yet was still planning to play OF over FOLIA. FOLIA starts killing lanes which is important.
>Morris_Greenberg: IMOPSTU O7 .UMP +27 259
#note Again, MISO. I was also debating for a long time whether OPTIMUS* or TOPIUMS* were words, I felt like there was a 7 in here (there is, it is UTOPISM and I completely missed it but doesn't play anywhere on the board).
>Jared_Cappel: EIKLNOS 3B SONLIKE +84 393
#note I saw MOLESKIN as wel but this looks betterl.
>Morris_Greenberg: AHIOQST F2 Q. +31 290
>Jared_Cappel: AGINNRT 12H RANTING +71 464
#note I drew REALLY well this set and especially in this game.
>Morris_Greenberg: AHINOST 14E A.TONISH +63 353
>Jared_Cappel: ACDERTY D10 D.Y +29 493
#note Tons of good plays to consider. I tried to stay balanced enough to go for a 6th bingo.
>Morris_Greenberg: EIINORZ D1 ZI.E +46 399
>Jared_Cappel: ACEIRTY 1A CRA.Y +57 550
#note Quackle much prefers RITZY. I was debating CRAZY vs. CRAZE and chose right between those two.
>Morris_Greenberg: EEINORT 15H RETIE +36 435
>Jared_Cappel: EIRT 5I TIER +24 574
>Jared_Cappel: (NO) +4 578
