>W: ADELMNW 8D WADMEL +32 32
>Matt: ?AAFGTZ 7E ZA +25 25
#note M: here or 7C for one more?
>W: BGNQUVY 6F BY +25 57
#note Held my nose here...BEVY was the other choice. Felt like a coin flip, but BEVY helped Matt out with board control more than I wanted.
>Matt: ?AAFGRT E5 GA..R +38 63
#note M: Beats F(L)AGRANT, right? Especially because I don't know if flagrant takes an S and I'm sure will does.
Q has nonbingo up by 7.
>W: GNOQUUV I6 VU.GO +12 69
>Matt: ?AFHTTY J10 FATTY +40 103
>W: AILNQTU 14C QUAINTL. +72 141
#note Quite the escape here
>Matt: ?AHIIRX K11 XI +38 141
#note Ugh can I please bingo how?
>W: ACIKNNO 15A KAIN +41 182
>Matt: ?AHIORT L12 THIO +22 163
#note UGH CAN I PLEASE BINGO YET?
Equity says play OA(T)H but I don't think I'll be able to bingo much after that unless I draw an E or hit a nice draw. Meh.
>W: CENNORT 15K C.NTO +21 203
>Matt: ?AORSTV M6 TRAVOiS +68 231
#note OVERTASK UGH!
>W: EEIINRU 8K UR.EI +18 221
#note Didn't really consider HEIR, though I was immediately looking in that spot. It's probably a smidge better.
>Matt: DGMRRSU K5 DUR.M +16 247
#note Scary - there are 10(!!) Es remaining and 20(!!) vowels plus a blank in the remaining pool of 39 tiles.
>W: ACDEINW 13L .EWN +40 261
>Matt: ?EEGIRS 10A GREISEs +77 324
>Matt: ?EEGIRS -- -77 247
#note Jesus I'm so horrible ugh. I wish I could say I had misdesignated the blank but I'm actually just horrible (GREISEn was the correct play)
>W: ABCDEIP E11 PIC. +16 277
#note Very confused about how best to handle this, but my confusion would only escalate from here on out.
>Matt: ?EEGIRS H12 GI.E +21 268
>W: ABDEEES O4 BEED. +11 288
#note Big equity hit to block the I and not open with this at 12A
>Matt: ?EENRSS N13 .E. +12 280
#note Rather than trying to open lines that immediately get blocked while drawing the remaining Os and Js and Fs and not ever actually getting a bingo down, I decide instead to embark on a devious plan.....
Maybe it's smarter to look instead for the remaining H and hit a hefty N2 play?
>W: AEELORS 9C LO.E +17 305
#note Not seeing a great block of the K, which I figured he was gunning for, so I wanted to try and do it in two turns. Maybe he has a BOOK word? A WORK word?
>Matt: ?EFNRSS 10M .F +13 293
#note This wasn't the letter I was looking for...
>W: AEEHIRS 10B HIE +22 327
#note Mission accomplished...right?
>Matt: ?ENORSS 13G O. +6 299
#note Will began audibly making confused noises after this play, so I presumed he wasn't aware of my plan...
>W: AEIJORS N2 JIAO +28 355
#note Okay, now I'm really confused. Does he have an amazing fit down column N?
>Matt: ?DENRSS C9 ..D +4 303
>W: AEENPRS J4 PEA +18 373
#note Still totally in the dark
>Matt: ?ENORSS L1 REStS +14 317
#note W: He laid down ?NEuR(Y)S(M)S G1 and then turned over the last letter to reveal an O. Matt had 5 cracks at getting an A and an easy win and just missed. I don't think either of us will remember this game proudly.
M: 5 shots at it, yeah! But if I had just played GREISEn like a non-moron then I'd also have won this game easily... I'm more upset on missing out on the style points than the win!
