#note Hi Sandy!
Didn't know NANG#! That's a reasonable play at 7F if I don't feel like fishing. Otherwise I can play (E)NG for 8, which is probably more sensible. I can't really hit anything huge with this leave and I actually miss with an E draw if they block the O which is very likely to occur.
>Mina_and_Chris: AERR G6 RA.ER +11 19
#note Held this briefly because it's new in TWL, and if it was $ there is a chance it wasn't in CSW15. Not enough of a chance to waste 5 points challenging.
>Joshua_Sokol: AEGLNQS -Q +0 2
#note this is what I get for playing EN for 2.

>Joshua_Sokol: CEMMOOR L6 COMMO.ER +84 159
#note Really thought I was in trouble after TOT and averaging 1 point per move, but with a lot of luck I'm in a commanding lead.

>Joshua_Sokol: BEHOOQU 4A BOHE. +26 185
#note Unnecessarily setting up points. I should play M3 BOOH. Didn't know it. But M7 HOO is also OK. Basically I should keep the E.
>Mina_and_Chris: ENOZ A4 .ONZE +48 186
#note yup
>Joshua_Sokol: DDEOOQU 3B OOD.E +27 212
#note This was very risky. I was not confident of this word's validiity. I remembered OODLINS being a sticky S, and presumably OODLES would be too. I didn

>Joshua_Sokol: DFHIPQU 1G QU.P +45 257
#note Now this! This was a crazy position. I realized I had 2C DI(F)F for 43 here, and that dropping H1 QI for 68 would remove that possibility, and leave me with many turns of junk treatment unless I got a lucky draw. But I knew I should really block H1 somehow, so I decided to make a very unintuitive play and sacrifice 23 points to leave myself with a sure way to score next turn! Is 23 points too much to give up here? A Quackle sim, probably pretty trustworthy here, says that I should only give up a maximum of 19 points here, which means that I must have similar options with DUFPH next turn that score around 25 points. I missed 10K P(O)UF for 24 and didn;t know H(O)UF# in the same spot. And K7 PUH scores 23 and retains the F for the big F spot if I draw another I.

>Joshua_Sokol: BCPRSUY (challenge) +5 393
#note Thought this would get me the +5, but B8 REFUgIA uses the same tiles and scores 86. Oops. Also 14E AUR(I)FIEs#. Oh, and B8 FAIlURE. C'mon son!

#note B1 SC(OO)BY#!!!!!! Damn I wish I knew Collins words. 14J CUSPY# and B2 R(OO)PY# too. This isn't good.

>Joshua_Sokol: ACGKPRS J10 P.ACKS +30 460
#note -22 to P(U)CK, which banked the same amount, but I was worried about a non-existent bingo starting in E.
