>Kathy_Sutrov: IIII -IIII +0 0
>Noah: ?AELTUU 8B ULUlATE +64 64
#note Hm, this is a pretty open placement to start. Why not do 8F? It's less friendly to the left side.
>Kathy_Sutrov: AEFFRU C2 FEARFU. +28 28
>Noah: DGIRSTY B1 YIRD +31 95
#note TIDY is much better. I missed it. Argh.
>Kathy_Sutrov: BDELR F6 BL.RED +17 45
>Noah: EGGKNST E10 TEGG +20 115
>Kathy_Sutrov: AER A1 ARE +33 78
>Noah: ACKNRST B8 .NTRACKS +82 197
>Kathy_Sutrov: ?EINORV H1 OVERlIN. +83 161
>Kathy_Sutrov: ?EINORV -- -83 78
>Noah: AEHIIIO 13B .HI.OE +26 223
#note All my blocks seem terrible, so I decided to just play this, which is the clear best of non-blocks.
>Kathy_Sutrov: ?EINORV 12G OVERINg +78 156
>Noah: AAIIIOT 15A O.TIA +18 241
#note Thought about ATIgI here, or maybe exchanging.
>Kathy_Sutrov: CEHL 6F .ELCH +20 176
>Noah: ADEIIMT H1 MEDIA. +30 271
#note Also thought about AMI. It sets up a big scoring spot. It also closes down lanes, while this opens up. MI may be better than AMI, actually.
>Kathy_Sutrov: WZ K11 W.Z +30 206
>Noah: IJMOOTV 2F JO. +26 297
>Kathy_Sutrov: EL 13I LE. +18 224
>Noah: AEIMOTV 3E VOI. +21 318
>Kathy_Sutrov: OW E3 .OW +18 242
>Noah: AEIMSTY I1 AYS +35 353
#note MYSTIC is awesome. Seems better than this. Is it best to do AY or JOY, though? I think I like AY more than JOY, to block the M.
>Kathy_Sutrov: BO J10 BO.. +17 259
>Noah: EGIMNST 11I M.. +13 366
#note Hm, DAGO might be better. At least, EIMNST draws more bingos through the g with this pool than EGINST does.
>Kathy_Sutrov: AINSTX M7 TAXIN.S +44 303
>Noah: EGIINST L4 IGNITES +84 450
#note It took me a while to see this placement. Then the question was just whether I got more spread on average by challenging TAXINgS (Maybe average case is not the right thing to consider here, though?) It seemed like this got me more spread, though it would occasionally lead to Q sticks, so I played it.
>Kathy_Sutrov: DNOPPQU M1 QUOD +31 334
