#note Was getting set to play OUTLEAPT when I somehow talked myself into this being good. Not completely outrageous given PANTLER/PANTLEG and MANTLET/GANTLET, but I feel like I knew this wasn't good and managed to convince myself to play it because I wanted it to be.

#note This, on the other hand, I'm still trying to wrap my brain around - I knew there was a high probability P word that could do both A or E as its middle vowel, and I just could not come up with it in game, so I figured it must be this. Nope, PANETELA is what I was going for. I'm trying to be better about my response to making mistakes lately, but I was pretty dejected after this; this sort of word knowledge botch isn't something I think of myself as ever doing, and I was embarrassed.

#note THANKER scores one more same spot. Feels funny to comment on errors like this after the start of the game.

#note Just trying to make something happen. Actually almost did SCALARS to create multiple lanes, even if both are highly unlikely to be useful to me.

#note Tanked for most of the rest of my time trying to come up with a reasonable winning pathway here and gave up and did this, hoping that the R would play with RYAS. I was very close to playing JOE to setup SJOE but with three As and an O unseen there's almost no way it ever stays open as Pete just simply parallels and blocks for a boatload of points. However, in those rare occasions that he doesn't have those vowels, it's unblockable, so I probably have to do that and pray for a crazy AAAO-filled bag. Quackle wants N1 BROMES setting up JUBA draws but that will never work.

#note If I'm honest, with under a minute left here I was fishing for MURGEON which I thought was gonna play along column B - realized after I actually drew it that UL* is not a word. Quackle thinks I'm drawing dead here, though it assigns some win% to 4B BURKING which, while a nice play, seems like it can't ever win.
>Peter: AAFHINR B5 FARINHA +87 501
#note Well, BURKING at least blocks this. Oof. Can't really complain though.
