>Dave: DEEFGIV 8D FIDGE +28 28
>Joey: DEINOPT I4 POINTED +73 73
>Dave: AEIORUV 4I .AVIOUR +26 54
>Joey: ?ILNQWZ N3 Q.IZ +42 115
>Dave: DEEIOPY 6K OYE. +16 70
#note Dave: "Total brain freeze here. I overlooked the FIDGETY hook, but even without that I had better choices. But I was rewarded for my suboptimal choice."
>Joey: ?CLLNNW J2 CL.W +20 135
>Dave: ?CDEFIP E5 PaC.FIED +110 180
>Joey: ?ALNNTU G3 UNTAN.Le +61 196
#note I didn't see NONADULT. Also available was the safer UNDULANT.
>Dave: AGRRSTY D12 ARTY +28 208
>Joey: AEEMRSS J9 SEAMERS +70 266
>Dave: AEGRRSS 13H GR.ASERS +70 278
>Joey: ABHINTW H11 WI.HT +39 305
#note Lots of appetizing choices here on a now ridiculously open board. ABSINTH 15H takes away most of the hotspots. As it turns out, he would have had BASTE O11 for a ton.
>Dave: ABEEINT 15J .ABINE +33 311
>Joey: ABNOUUV 15A BUN.A +30 335
#note Or BUOY. Saving the O for OPACIFIED wasn't a bad idea though.
>Dave: AEEILTX O7 LATEXE. +45 356
#note "I liked this both to take away O8 and to give myself the best chance to pick up some stuff that would play with the I from O1."
>Joey: EHIOOUV L8 HOOVE. +32 367
>Dave: DIJKMNR 6D R.J. +26 382
#note "I was pretty sure DINKUM was the right play, if it was good. But I wasn't sure if it was good."
>Joey: ILOOOTU C12 LOI. +18 385
#note I confess to actually not remembering OPACIFIED, just like I did in game #2984. But it wouldn't have allowed a little last minute drama.
>Dave: DEGIKMN B9 KING +17 399
>Joey: AOOTU E2 OUT........ +18 403
#note The only way I can win is if Dave challenges and it's good. Dave pauses clock and we go over to Zyzzyva. The first half of my wish comes true....
>Joey: AOOTU -- -18 385
#note But not the second half. The phoney died a hero, though. I still think OUTGNAWN is less plausible than this.
>Dave: DEM N8 MED +23 422
>Dave: (AOOTU) +10 432
