>Will: ELORTYZ 7C ZLOTY +40 40
>Scott: AEINSTU D6 A.UNITES +68 80
>Will: DEEOORT 8A ODO.R +31 71
#note I'm shocked at the expected bingo% after ZOO of 60%. I suppose the column B lane it creates is relatively flexible and there's also RYU available to hook. Quackle strongly prefers ZOO to ODOUR.
>Scott: EJST J6 JEST +34 114
>Will: EEEIIRT I7 E.E +14 85
#note Tricky move; EEJIT gives up a TWS and JESTEE blocks a bit more than I want to, but it has a better bingo% than EYE...liking EEJIT now, the E isn't that easy to hit and it would open a lot of new lanes if Scott did play there.

>Will: EIINRTX B8 .EXTRIN +62 147
>Scott: AHP A13 HAP +31 184
>Will: AAIITUW -AAIITUW +0 147
#note Wasn't thrilled by C13 plays; felt like I needed to get a bingo down ASAP, and keeping AIIW or the like was not how to achieve that. Quackle strongly prefers C12 UTA to exchanging.
>Scott: GIV E4 VIG.. +21 205
>Will: ?IKOOQT K4 TOOK +32 179
#note Missed the gorgeous 9D NOOK.

>Scott: FI B5 IF +28 342
>Will: ABGIINR 2L BI +14 327
#note This was a tough move - didn't see 2L RIBA, which scores 12 more points than BI, but the R does wonders for my bingo%. Also I did see that I could potentially play things with (BI)G(A) next turn to open more lines and score a lot in the process. Quackle likes BI better than RIBA and also likes C7 ZOA best of all - it scores 3 more than BI and bingos roughly exactly as often, but in practice, very few of those bingos fit anywhere except row 2, which Scott is going to try to block. I think shedding the B is more helpful for hitting a bingo from the S of ALUNITES.
>Scott: ACDI C2 CAID +18 360
>Will: AGINNRW 6J ..WAR +17 344
#note Hoping to get a multiple turn fish going for a JOWARI bingo, which I felt Scott might overlook. Lots of other reasonable plays here, (C13 NAW, H10 EARWIG, 12A WRIER) but few felt like they offered the upside of JOWAR.
>Scott: ALOP C12 OPAL +36 396
>Will: DEGIINN O6 INDIGEN +96 440
#note Well, that worked out. Insanely lucky draw.
>Scott: EEFGLOR 1G FORELEG +100 496
>Scott: EEFGLOR -- -100 396
#note Scott was under no illusions that this was good, but was going with the "in the one in a million chance this is a word" principle with EBAH*
