#note Tough call after exchange 2 - I figured placing vowels next to the DLS'es might actually help me given the bingo-prone-ness of his range.

>Will: AEILRRU 12J URI.AL +14 111
#note Close with some other options, no standout move here imo. Quackle also likes L7 URINE and 12J RUIN.
>Thomas: ADII O11 I.IAD +18 174
>Will: EEIORRU K5 OURIE. +12 123
>Thomas: EOT 7I TO.E +8 182
>Will: BDEJLRX 6J J.BE +58 181
#note I did JUBE over JUD for the extra three points and extra tile pull with ??SS unseen.
>Thomas: AEGMT M1 GAMET. +18 200
>Will: ADGILRX 2J GAL.X +34 215
#note N2 XI just gets hit way too hard - N2 LAX was more tempting, but GALAX bingos way more and yields way fewer points, making it clearly best.

>Will: DIPRTUV C9 ..VIUT +42 257
>Thomas: DEEISST 15H DESISTE. +83 310
>Will: DENPRTU 1F PERDU +27 284
#note Reaching for blanks, but this should've been PENDU# to shed an N with two more coming (and because RT is just better than NT in a vacuum).
>Thomas: EGVY 2C GYVE +19 329
>Will: ?CENOTW E10 ..W +9 293
#note For the record, I would've had COWROTE now after PENDU#, but it actually wouldn't be the best play. HEW seemed strong here because the CENOT? leave meshed extremely well with the unseen tiles to hit SWISH. AEKNNRT? all hit, LLZ do not hit SWISH.
>Thomas: ?AKT 15A TAsK +54 383
>Will: ?CELNOT 4E NOTChEL +68 361
#note I had maybe 2 minutes left after HEW. First I looked through the E of GAMETE. Then I looked for multi-tile overlaps atop DESISTED...then I looked at bingos through the U of QIVIUTS hooking HEWN. I had thought that sevens ending in C and L to hook OURIER# were the least likely, but by the time I finally realized that I had a bingo in that spot, I was too far overtime to win the game. I took a -40 time penalty to lose the game by 22. Really, really frustrating loss.
