>Rafi: ?EEIKOT 8G TOElIKE +80 80
#note Great confidence booster for the first play of Nationals!
>Mark_Miller: GIOO J6 IG.OO +9 9
>Rafi: BIISSTY 11G BITSY +26 106
>Mark_Miller: DINR L4 DRIN. +20 29
>Rafi: ?DIOSTT H11 .DIOT +24 130
#note Not worth playing RIDOTTOS or DOTTIEST for cheap.
>Mark_Miller: AAEEGLT 7A GALEATE +63 92
>Rafi: ?ISSTWX A4 TWI.S +30 160
#note Lots of options here. I like TWIGS best because it blocks the triple lane, and gives me a chance at a huge EX bingo in two different spots. If I draw awkward tiles, I can most likely fish the X for 35+ and still leave S-blank. SIX underlapping GALEATE is the best alternative.
>Mark_Miller: ADEJ 12D JADE. +32 124
>Rafi: ?EIOSSX 9M XI +34 194
#note I might have not seen OXId(A)SES here, but I passed up the others. Either way, XI is better because I have the case esses and blank, and am very likely to score 80-90 next turn with a huge bingo.

>Rafi: ?EEIOSS O3 SOIrEES +81 275
>Mark_Miller: NNU N2 NUN +10 150
>Rafi: AADERVW D2 WAVER.D +32 307
#note Four R's unseen, so WEAVED is worse.
>Mark_Miller: COP C1 COP +27 177
>Rafi: AMNRRRY 5C M.RRY +20 327
#note Y(I)RR and WRYER are a couple alternatives.
>Mark_Miller: ALP M1 LAP +22 199
#note I was SOOOOO hoping for LOP to come down...
>Rafi: ACELNOR 1G CORNEA. +30 357
#note ...for OLECRANON! A couple months back, Noah quizzed me and Carl on AENNOOR?? which has two words - one being OLECRANON and the other being a word that 5-year-olds know. RECOAL looks best here - the pool is awkward so leaving AN is helpful. ROWAN is pretty cool - clearly the Z was still in the bag (otherwise ZAP would have come down) and I can draw it for COLZA for 78.
