>Evans_Clinchy: ADEINVY 8D VEINY +30 30
#note Surprised that Quackle likes IVY better. ADEN didn't strike me as quite strong enough a leave to sacrifice significant scoring.
>Steve_Polatnick: DIOTUV E3 OUTVI.D +22 22
>Evans_Clinchy: AADEERY 9G YEA +25 55
#note I have a bingo-prone leave and he's drawing 6 random tiles, so sure, let's choose YEA over YAE. I'm the favorite to bingo first, so I don't mind opening.
>Steve_Polatnick: AEGINRX 5C RE.AXING +66 88
>Evans_Clinchy: ADEEOOR 4G ODEA +26 81
>Steve_Polatnick: BEUZ 3J ZEBU +43 131
>Evans_Clinchy: EEGHORS 6D E.HOE +48 129
>Steve_Polatnick: AILQ L1 QI.LA +52 183
>Evans_Clinchy: BGKLRST 3C GR.K +18 147
>Steve_Polatnick: ITU 1L .UIT +39 222
>Evans_Clinchy: BLMOPST 2K M.LT +23 170
#note Overlooked the ZEBUB hook. Getting rid of the B would be a nice way to carve out a more bingo-prone leave. BOLT/ZEBUB looks best.
>Steve_Polatnick: DFIRT M5 DRIFT +14 236
>Evans_Clinchy: ABEOOPS 8M .OB +24 194
#note Gah! Didn't know BOODIE. That's the star play here, at H1 - good score, good leave, a decent chance at bingoing for the lead next turn.
>Steve_Polatnick: III -III +0 236
>Evans_Clinchy: AEHOPSS 10G EPHAS +31 225
#note At this point I'm back within striking distance even without a bingo, and I don't mind turning over a lot of tiles - the bag is very very good, including both blanks and a good balance of bingo-prone consonants and vowels. EPHAS offers good defense and lots of points/turnover. I'm happy with it.
>Steve_Polatnick: CEP K10 .PEC +16 252
>Evans_Clinchy: EIJORSS 14K SIJO +31 256
>Steve_Polatnick: ??CDMST 12H DoM.STiC +82 334
#note Ah, yes, the bingo from a 0-vowel rack! Oldest trick in the book.
>Evans_Clinchy: ELNORST 11A LENTORS +71 327
>Steve_Polatnick: AEGNUW A6 GUNWA.E +36 370
>Evans_Clinchy: AAIORRW 10A .W +26 353
#note Desperately fishing for a bingo out...
>Steve_Polatnick: AEFILNO 15L FANO +53 423
>Evans_Clinchy: AAINORR 13C ORARIAN +73 426
#note ...and getting it! Holy smokes.
