#note Well, now I know IRONNESS. Barring that, I12 (I)N(F)O 2% better than my play, making up way more than the 21 point difference by halving bingos for opponent and bingoing 40%+ for me on next turn.

#note I was blocking the bingo I thought Vera was most likely to find from this pool - N9 sILVERY - while giving back a lower scoring lane that should outrun even if I get caught with the Q. Also saw 3A LIVYERs (unsure of it) and stuff like 5C DELIVEr, and thought I would win narrowly even if she made those plays.

However, something like 6B (JET)E is much safer with this score line and pool because 1) she wouldn't fish (U)P while holding the Q, so I'm way more likely to draw it. 2) It also blocks a bunch of stuff on row 5, and 3) if she bingos and I draw the Q, I can at least respond with QI for 26.

Much closer game than the score line indicates, and misplayed by me. I had around 3 minutes for my last play which should have been enough, so no excuses here.
