>W: EIIPRTT 7H TIP +9 52
#note Flailing a little here. Maybe better to play a waiting move like D10 TI. It makes the STUM hook but THONGS is already there.

#note I think this is actually a really interesting situation. Of course I balked at doing K5 GRIZ because it puts the Z in the triple lane and yields really easy scores, but I then get several floaters holding EST, which works out pretty well for me much of the time. If I'm worried about giving up too many points, I can also just do ZIG K6 and hope for a similar outcome with a play to the triple giving my ERST some floaters. I'm interested to know what others would choose here.

#note Phony. Really not worth the risk compared to RERIG which might just be better outright. I don't think I thought of it.

#note Another interesting play here - I took a little too much time on it, which hurt later. I didn't notice VISIBLE and was deciding between 61 BOGIE and my play for a while. I wanted to stop easy scoring plays paralleling FET and ZA but the row 2 bingo line is really unlikely to be blocked by anything other than an opp. bingo and BOGIE leaves so much better...not sure about this one.

>W: ACIIORU O3 CIAO +14 301
#note Yet another major stumper for me. Quackle appears to want me to try for the K and play 3A CIAO, which does look like a good plan if I feel like putting the game up to a gamble. If I had more time on the clock and could reasonably expect to win a tight endgame, then I might be more insistent that my placement of CIAO is better, but I was in major trouble and a hail mary play might've been warranted.
