Quackle slightly prefers ARISTAE. >Sonia_L: ABCCEOQ 14J F.B +33 117 >Sonia_L: ABCCEOQ -- -33 84 >Dave_T: DEIKLLO 8K .LIKE +30 222 #note L3 KELOID is best, but I didn't know it. >Sonia_L: ABCCEOQ N6 PU.ER +19 103 >Sonia_L: ABCCEOQ -- -19 84 #note Nope. But VOMITER is good. >Dave_T: DFLOSSV 14J F. +26 248 #note I completely missed DELFS here and decided to take the points and remove the hotspot. >Sonia_L: BFU 14E FUB +14 98 >Dave_T: ADLOSSV 7G DO +23 271 #note maybe I should have played N11 OVALS but I don't like Quackle's preference of blowing both Ss with SALVOS for 29. >Sonia_L: PU 10J P.U +11 109 >Dave_T: ALOSSUV 6H VAU +14 285 #note I'm surprised Quackle prefers OVALS over VAUS. I had greedily decided to keep that spot to try to hit the TLS. >Sonia_L: DEHOOUY N6 YO. +18 127 >Dave_T: HLORRSS N12 RHOS +21 306 #note I know the board isn't S friendly, but why play SHORLS for only 8 more points? >Sonia_L: EEEEE -EEEEE +0 127 >Dave_T: CEELRRS 13K .EC. +20 326 #note My play scores well, but 11D CRENEL is best, though I didn;t know it. Quackle's 2nd choice 15A SCREE seems way too volatile. >Sonia_L: EQRU 10C QUER. +16 143 >Dave_T: ELNRRSS D9 N.RL +8 334 #note I know adding the S is best here, but I have trouble parting with it for only 2 points. >Sonia_L: DEMO 15B DOME +15 158 >Dave_T: AAEERSS H10 SA.E +23 357 >Sonia_L: APY 14A PAY +27 185 >Dave_T: AAENORS M3 ANOA +13 370 #note 9D NAOI is best. I played this over 5I ANOA because I was growing restless and wanted to open things up more. >Sonia_L: BDEENO O1 DEBONE +36 221 >Dave_T: CEHORST N1 OH +23 393 #note Surprisingly Quackle does not like this play. It's top choices are 4G CHORTEN, L1 ECHO, and 4J CHON. >Sonia_L: ITT L3 TIT +14 235 >Dave_T: CEGRSTX 9N EX +29 422 #note Quackle prefersB12 Grad for 6, probably because of the vowel shortage. I decide to pass on the 5 extra points and keep my S. >Sonia_L: IZ A12 ZI. +24 259 >Dave_T: CGGRSTW I11 W.T +16 438 #note I find an out in 4 that I'm amazingly able to play, though I screw up the order at the end. >Sonia_L: DEGINOT 11B DI.T +25 284 >Dave_T: CGGRS 4J GR..G. +8 446 #note Quackle feels this should have preceded WIT, but I really didn't think she'd block this play. >Sonia_L: EGNO 8B NEG +14 298 >Sonia_L: EGNO -- -14 284 #note That was lucky. >Dave_T: CS 9M S.. +14 460 #note I need to play COD first or else I get C stuck. Besides she can't block this play. >Sonia_L: EGNO J2 NO. +6 290 >Dave_T: C 1M C.. +6 466 >Dave_T: (EG) +6 472
