#note J: Hoping to draw an O for our old friend QOPH.

>Joey: AEIINRU 11B URAEI +21 138
>Will: AAENTTV D11 .VANT +18 184
#note W: Or C9 VARNA, K10 VAN...I think VAN might be the most prudent play - it makes a new S hook down column M, but that hardly matters given the giant one on column O, and it blocks double-doubles. The nice thing about AVANT is that AET is a good starting leave to try and hit that spot myself.
>Joey: EFIMNOR K6 FERMION +82 220
>Will: AABESTU O8 BATEAUS +90 274
#note W: This fit my criterion of being a word I would surely find somewhat difficult to challenge myself, so I tried it. J: My lifetime challenge grid against Will is not good, and it just got worse. This seemed like too big a play to let go, even though he still had ABUSE, which I couldn't really block effectively.
>Joey: ?IKLNPW N9 PINK +28 248
>Will: AIJLOSU L3 JOUAL +31 305
>Joey: ?HLORSW 3L .OWL +28 276
#note J: Parallel plays to the J gave too much back. I figured I might at least a decent floater up top.
>Will: FIIMOST O1 FI.MI +39 344
>Joey: ?CEHIRS 15A CRI.cHE.S +91 367
>Joey: ?CEHIRS -- -91 276
#note J: I know of a Garfield comic strip in which he uses CRITCHER. I couldn't find it right away.
>Will: GLOSTYY B10 G.YOT +26 370
>Joey: ?CEHIRS 4F CHEeRI.S +65 341
#note J: I wish I had thought of the possibility of fishing off the S and going for KERCHIEF. He would obviously know what I'm up to, since he knows what I have.
>Will: LSSTUVY A13 LUV +22 392
>Joey: EEILOOR 15F OO.IE +11 352
#note J: Better to play REEL H2 first, threatening setting up two OORIE spots. Some threat that would be.
>Will: ESSTY H1 STY. +21 413
>Joey: ELR G12 RE +10 362
>Will: ES 6N ES +15 428
