>Morris_Greenberg: AEOOOTV 8D OVATE +18 18
>Jesse_Matthews: EIWY E8 .IEWY +28 28
>Morris_Greenberg: ADLNOOW D10 WOOD +36 54
#note Maybe WOOL instead.
>Jesse_Matthews: EEG C12 GEE +21 49
>Morris_Greenberg: AIIILNT 7G INITIAL +65 119
#note Keeping ALN, I drew III out of the bag and thought this wasn't going to be pretty. Then I drew the T. Scrabble is a ridiculous game sometimes.
>Jesse_Matthews: FOTU 8L TOFU +29 78
>Morris_Greenberg: AEEHRTT 6A THEREAT +73 192
#note I completely missed THEATRE 9H.
>Jesse_Matthews: ACEILOR A3 ERO.ICAL +83 161
>Morris_Greenberg: DGGHLOX C2 HOGG.D +28 220
#note I forgot whether S(HOGGED) is good so I was hesitant to make this play. Even with the big S spot, Quackle likes this best.
>Jesse_Matthews: JST 14B J.ST +31 192
>Morris_Greenberg: DLPRRUX 6I LUX +27 247
#note Quackle says it's very close between LUX and DRUP(E) or PRUD(E) E2. While LUX allows bingos 3% less often, Jesse on average scores 1.5 more points next turn when I play LUX. This is likely because of the SHOGGED bingos. I don't think I can infer from Jesse's last play that he is unsure of SHOGGED, as if he had JUST or JEST (which play at 1A creating SHOGGED), those would have also played for more points than his play at 15A than J(E)ST at 14B. So, it seems much more likely he's consonant heavy or is setting up a Y.
So, DRUP(E) or PRUD(E) is probably safer from the standpoint of blocking S(HOGGED).
>Jesse_Matthews: IIII -IIII +0 192
>Morris_Greenberg: DIPPRRR E2 PRID. +16 263
#note Might as well be safe now.
>Jesse_Matthews: NU B1 NU +14 206
>Morris_Greenberg: DENNPRR 4C .R.P +14 277
#note Quackle prefers (G)R(I)NNED, (G)R(I)NNER, or (G)R(I)NDER all because my average score improves next turn. I prefer to play conservatively here. A nice comprimise might be (G)R(I)N, as that improves my score next turn to (G)R(I)P by 8 points, and only slightly makes the board more friendly for bingos.
>Jesse_Matthews: ?IORSSV 2E .ROVISoS +66 272
>Morris_Greenberg: DEINNNR 1K DINER +26 303
#note NINER is better than DINER so I can have (A)ND F8 guaranteed next turn and have better synergy for bingos.
>Jesse_Matthews: AABELMN 15E AMBLE +29 301
>Morris_Greenberg: ?BCENNU F10 BE +30 333
#note I bingo 20% more often with BUN 9H. Is 19 points worth the sacrifice?
>Jesse_Matthews: AO H1 O.A +18 319
>Morris_Greenberg: ?CEINNU 14I NUClEIN +72 405
#note I was hesitant about playing this with the possibility of ZA(N)Y or even a Q stick. One crazy thing I didn't realize was that there are literally no playable bingos in the pool
Apparently N(O)NE G1 wins most often (98%), this is about 90% of the time.
>Jesse_Matthews: AAEFKNY - +0 319
>Morris_Greenberg: AMQSZ O7 S.Q +12 417
#note This is 2 points worse than blocking YA(N)K with Q(I). I played this because I thought I could get Z stuck after Q(I) if he blocks ZA 13H. I missed (GEE)Z as a second out play though, so blocking is better.
>Jesse_Matthews: AAEFKNY O12 YA.K +45 364
>Morris_Greenberg: AMZ M11 MAZ. +30 447
