#note Least Favorite Play #2: Not only did I miss a relatively easy bingo, but I play a phony instead. And not just ANY phony. A phony FOUR. And it gets WORSE. I actually thought MAVE was GOOD (obviously). I had a world-class smirk on my face and was practically STRUTTING towards the computer. But never mind the phony. How did I miss the easy bingo? I ran the alphagram by Eric and Sid and neither of them got it. When I said make the blank the L, Sid immediately said, "CLEAVER!" I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have missed it had I had CEELRV? instead of ACEERV? With ACEERV? I just thought of ACERVATE and didn't think there were any playable sevens. This is a serious blank vision error.

#note Least Favorite Play #1: Jackie is now the second person this year to get away with a phony seven on me and she's going to be the last. I really should have challenged this off, but I couldn't pull the trigger. I was still annoyed by the MAVE* play. These two consecutive blunders cost me the game.

#note I missed a cool seven here. I know the word, but I would probably only see it if the blank needed to be an E or S.
>Jacqueline_Camper: DIL O12 .ILD +21 265
>Tasha: ?CESSUY 5A CaYUSES +82 292
#note I ask myself, "How did I miss CLEAVER - a mid-prob word - yet find CAYUSES - a low prob word? Because, I answer myself, my blank vision is much worse with lower-probability words. Words like ANISEED and NUTCASE are hard for me to see through blanks yet I'll see them immediately as naturals. Lower-prob words are just easier to anagram because they look as if there's only one solution instead of six. With that being said though, I would have missed this if I had AESSUY? instead. The upside to my sucky blank vision is that I don't depend on the blanks anyway. I drew 11 blanks this tournament (to my opponents' 17) and still outbingoed them. Anyways, Jackie held this play, but doesn't challenge. In hindsight, CAUSEYS was better defensively. I also wasn't sure if TEFFS took an S.
