>Ben: ?AEENRX 7H REANnEX +72 72
>Carl: EELNRTU E5 LUT.ERN +40 124
#note I lost the game here by talking myself out of TUNNELER. Without the possibility of LUTHERN, I would have probably played it. (-30)
>Ben: ?AGGJOU F2 JUGA +30 102
>Carl: AEEIOUV 1F AVE +31 155
>Ben: ?DEGOTT 10D G.OTToED +63 165
#note Gah missed TOGATED. Played too quickly.
>Carl: EIOOPUV H10 .OUPIE +27 182
>Ben: ABIRSWY L3 BRAW.Y +34 199
>Carl: LNNOSTV 6J VO. +33 215
>Ben: ABHIPQS 12G B.QSHA +40 239
#note One of several really great finds by Ben this game. He definitely outplayed me.
>Carl: LMNNSTY 5K M.NY +28 243
>Ben: AEINOPZ 11J NAZI +54 293
#note Picked this over AZO because of all the unseen I's. Sim agrees.
>Carl: EILNSTT 15H .NTITLES +77 320
>Ben: EEKOOOP 13L POKE +34 327
>Carl: ADEIIRU O8 UREID. +27 347
#note Better: EURIPI 13D (-4)
>Ben: CDEFLOO D10 .OOFED +28 355
#note N9 OF is 4% better, presumably because it's tough to score after that. I chose this because I felt like CLODE was going to be useless on this board.
>Carl: ACEFIIO 15A ACI. +21 368
#note Star plays here are COIFFE 13A and CEIBA 3I. Everything else is way back. (-11)
>Ben: ACDILNT C12 NID. +25 380
#note Didn't know CANTIC, which is about 18% above this and is good motivation to study some 6's. This is 3rd behind that and IND(U)CT, which I considered, but decided against because I didn't want to empty the bag.
>Carl: EFIIIOS N9 OF +28 396
#note Bad things happen in 3s, including losses due to drawing triplicate vowels. At least this time I chickened out on the bingo, which probably cost me the game.
>Ben: ACGLORT B10 CLOG +23 403
#note LAC(Y) is 1 better.
>Carl: EIIIMS 6D M.SE +24 420
#note MISE G3 is good for one more point. (-1) I saw it, but didn't see that MUSE gives back TRAM.
>Ben: ART D3 TRA. +15 418
#note I end Day 1 at 5-3, vowing to win all remaining games. The rest are mine! :-)
>Ben: (III) +6 424
