>Jackson_Smylie: ?ADJOVZ H7 AVO +12 12
#note I am very happy with this play! I like AVO a bit better than OVA since the DZ combo works well with ending words in Z, whereas the J is harder to end with. AVO makes both of those possible, and wins a sim.
>Joe_Edley: AEIIITX I9 XI +34 34
#note actual rack
>Jackson_Smylie: ?DDHJVZ 7G H.DJ +21 33
#note I'm surprised that the sim says he only averages 2 more after HADJ than exchanging. DVZ is quite bad but at least I get VOX bailouts. Given the fact that HADJ doesn't increase his average by that much, I would expect HADJ to sim handily best, but exchanging down to Z? is about tied in a sim. I don't really mind the variant aspect of HADJ, in that if he doesn't have an I his options are terrible, but if he does, his options are great.
>Joe_Edley: AAITW K4 AWAIT +32 66
>Jackson_Smylie: ?DEOTVZ G9 VET +27 60
#note DOZE, VOTED, VOTED, VET
all pretty good options. VET might be too cute, but when I don't draw H11 AZiDO or aZIDO, I often get good Z plays on the top right. L2 VOTED wins a sim, closely followed by g9 VOTED. L2 VOTED really limits Joe's average score, but I feel like it must limit my average by more than the 9 that Quackle suggests.
>Joe_Edley: CGILR 4J G.RLIC +24 90
>Jackson_Smylie: ?DHOPSZ N2 PH.Z +36 96
#note I fully did not know PHIZZ, wow.
>Joe_Edley: DEEEMNR L8 EMENDER +75 165
>Jackson_Smylie: ?BDOSUY 15H BUOYS +45 141
#note didn't see BODYSURF but I prefer this
>Joe_Edley: AIL O1 LAI. +27 192
>Jackson_Smylie: ?ADFIIS 13F gASIFI.D +76 217
>Joe_Edley: ?ACEEIP 6A CAlIPEE +69 261
>Jackson_Smylie: EGNQTTU D4 QU.NT +30 247
#note I thought about QUITE to give a better lane back down the C column, but I am really worried about the top of the board in that case. I think the bottom left will get opened (and already kind of is), but QUINT lets me get SQUINT possibilities, which I need at my deficit
>Joe_Edley: EGNTY A6 .YGNET +36 297
>Jackson_Smylie: EGLMOTU B10 MOGUL +40 287
>Joe_Edley: EIORRS 3B ROSIER +29 326
>Jackson_Smylie: DEEIOOT C11 OOTID +24 311
#note I don't think OOTID gives me good chances, but if I can draw the S I can make some setups. It's not unfathomable that I can outrun here, especially if I can hit a 2 row play and he has junk. I think plays like 14L (R)OE are premature. I like that OOTID plays 5 tiles towards drawing the S
>Joe_Edley: ALNTUW 2F WALNUT +34 360
>Jackson_Smylie: ABEEEFO 14L .EF +15 326
#note Q does nto find any wins. I should just save spread, quackle suggests j10 FE, since the 1 row is really only usable by me.
>Joe_Edley: ANNORRS 2A NONA +30 390
>Jackson_Smylie: ABEEEKO D11 KOA +33 359
#note AKEE M6 to block ERRS then OBE
>Joe_Edley: RRS 10L .RRS +6 396
>Joe_Edley: (BEEE) +12 408
