>Carl: EFGMNPZ 9K FEZ +32 32
>Mike_Willis: OORTUW I2 OUTWOR. +12 24
>Carl: EGIJMNP 3H J.MPING +38 70
#note Before playing this, I decided that I would challenge JUMPINGS if he tried it, but might be convinced to try it myself.
>Mike_Willis: EH J5 EH +31 55
>Carl: AEIOTTW M9 .OWIE +34 104
>Mike_Willis: U M3 .U +2 57

>Carl: AEEGITT K3 .ET +22 139
>Mike_Willis: KOOT G11 TOOK +16 140
>Carl: AEGIRTX K11 TRIG +25 164
#note I didn't see GOFER K7 (-2). This turned out to cost me dearly.
>Mike_Willis: ?AAEGSS 15I mASSAGE +80 220
#note This leaves me in dire straits. I'm disappointed that he went for the safer bingo instead of trying JUMPINGS, which by now, I'm even more certain is not a word.
>Carl: AEHIINX 2I .H +28 192
#note I didn't see IXIA L1. That's tough to spot! (-4)
>Mike_Willis: AQ 9F QA. +13 233
>Carl: AEIINPX 10E XI +24 216
#note Now PIANI 10B is best, followed by IXIA (-2)
>Mike_Willis: AY 14N AY +21 254
>Carl: ABIINNP 11B BANI +30 246
>Mike_Willis: ABEL 12A BALE +28 282
>Carl: CDDEINP L2 P.C +24 270
#note BIND A12 is correct (-6)
>Mike_Willis: CERU 1L ECRU +30 312
#note Not crazy about giving him 30 points, but at least he had to burn two of the precious vowels in that consonant-heavy bag.
>Carl: DDDEINR C9 DI..ED +20 290
#note I'm on the right track, but RIBAND B9 is even better. (-7)
>Mike_Willis: LO D8 LO +6 318
>Carl: DEFNRVY A12 .EVY +36 326
#note A deceptively lucky draw!
>Mike_Willis: EV 14C .EV +7 325
>Carl: ?DDFLNR 13J F.L.D +17 343
>Mike_Willis: EILMNST 10M .M +10 335
#note One of several lucky wins due to opponent botching the endgame. Mike intends to play out with ENLIST, but forgot about OMA.
>Carl: ?DNRR O9 RaND +10 353
>Mike_Willis: EILNST O3 STEIN +26 361
#note This put me in a tight spot-- I'm not *completely* sure JUMPINGS is phony. So I held the play, recounted, and determined that I would win by 2 if I accepted it. So that was what I did.
>Carl: R B11 ..R +8 361
#note Here's the catch: JUMPINGS IS ACTUALLY A WORD!!! Very spooky to have that lane sitting there unused for literally the entire game.
>Carl: (L) +2 363
