#note Not loving this, but with ZIRCONS available I decided to take the chance rather than blow things up with BIPEDS. I get just about as many extra points on my next turn as I'm sacrificing by playing BID over BIPEDS, but BID is also obviously a bit worse defensively. The two plays sim in a dead heat.

#note N2 UNSAFE was extremely tempting, but just gives so much back; I've got the case S, so leaving FOODIES open benefits me greatly. Quackle wants 10A AUF, which seems really ill-advised; it doesn't boost my bingo% anywhere near enough for me to want to do it, and keeping the U is a hedge against a Q draw.
>Benjy: AALMNU 3B ALUMNA. +20 285
>Will: ELNSTUY 13L YU +22 320
#note The pool is vowel heavy now, so ELNST should bingo a ton; Quackle agrees.

#note Burned my time down all the way here - wanting to block 15J DIQUAT and QUASI/YUS in one move here. I lose to a Q draw no matter what (UNREPAID in two spots, through P and E of VIEW), so I focused on winning the games where Benjy has the Q bombs available; but the score is at such a point that I can probably simply let Benjy have those plays and still win comfortably if I play my J for enough points here. 10K OUIJA scores 30 and threatens outs with any consonant, and I could also do something like M1 JIBE and just outrun with a second J play to the triple.
>Benjy: ?ADINQU 13L ..AN +7 357
#note Benjy sets up a massive QUOAD.
