#note A mistake as it slots the E in the 2x2. The sim is forgiving about this though, and has INTERAGE only a point ahead. GESNERIA is a few points behind.
>Barry_Keith: ACDEKRW M4 WRACKED +82 158
#note I was hoping to get to the D hook first, though it does also take S.
>David_Weisberg: ADINOVW K6 AVOW.D +26 89
#note E4 AVOWING 28 sims best, beating AVOWED by about 2.5. E5 VOWING sims evenly with my play, and K7 VOWED sims about a point behind these. I may have thought my IN leave would be useful with the floating G, and wanted to prevent easy scoring plays through the K. It's a little surprising that my play sims above VOWED, since it allows huge Z plays, but maybe that works to my advantage.I'm still not sure what is really best here.
>Barry_Keith: ABEN L3 BEAN +27 185
>David_Weisberg: IIILNOT 4D IONI. +14 103
#note 8J LOOKIT 33 is the star play here, and it was unknown to me. I thought about IOLITIC* and thought better of it. IONIC at least hooks with B and P, which I need right now.
>Barry_Keith: FOOPS C3 SPOOF +38 223
>David_Weisberg: DILOQTU E2 QU.D +28 131
#note QUOIT does about 1.5 better in a sim. I missed 6J QANAT 36, which I might have jumped on despite him just playing an S in a non-bingo. The 38 hw got is just enough to make me think he might have used a lone S. QANAT, however, does risk me falling too far behind if he does have another S and a big play there. QANAT sims 5 points behind QUOIT.
>Barry_Keith: GHINT B5 THING +37 260
>David_Weisberg: AEILOTT 8M .IT +21 152
#note LOOKIT again. LOOKIE, another I didn't know, is also an option. Apart from these, KIT is probably best.
>Barry_Keith: ESUX 8A U.SEX +50 310
>David_Weisberg: AELLOTZ G10 .L +2 154
#note I was at a loss here. I think this was basically a diversion to fish for TOTALIZE, as otherwise I only bingo on row 12 with ZEALOTS. E10 GLOZE 30 sims best and seems to be the play here, though my chances are vanishingly slim now. It also suggests N1 LAZE 32, but humans will instantly block that triple.
>Barry_Keith: AFILR 12D FILAR +21 331
>David_Weisberg: AELNOTZ 13A ZONA +31 185
#note Missed 6J ZANANA, which sims about evenly with H12 RAZE 39. I like ZANANA better because I think the E that RAZE opens gets blocked too often by plays through the Z, and if I want to bingo from the T in KIT, I'd rather keep an E, though a lot are still out. My E is alsoi helpful to hook R in FILAR. My play comes in about 8 points behind ZANANA.

#note 6F JELL 27 is better of course.
