>Terry: OOX H8 OXO +20 20
>Will: ?ADEEIN G7 ADENInE +75 75
#note I took like 5 minutes on this, Pakornly considering the board after OEDIPEAN vs after placements of ADENINE, ALIENED, and ANISEED, and which would do best against post-OXO leaves.
>Terry: CEHY H12 YECH +58 78
>Will: GIKOTUZ 14H .UZ +34 109
#note Sim prefers F9 ZO to CUZ and even considers F9 KO and F9 TOG to be the equal of CUZ; I get it. ZO scores 3 more points, denies EXO overlaps, and doesn't give back sixes to the triple starting with A or O the way CUZ does. That being said it's a difference of 0.5 in valuation.
>Terry: EFW F13 FEW +17 95
>Will: GIKNOTU I2 TOUKING +69 178
>Terry: EJT H1 JET +34 129
>Will: AINORSY F9 YO +25 203
#note Strongly considered sacrificing a ton of points to fish OY somewhere else that would make a better lane, like at 15J or J7; but 9 points is a lot. Sim agrees with me, but I could be swayed that the long term value of making a better S hook is worth it here.
>Terry: BDEILOR F1 BROILED +67 196
>Will: AEINRST J5 ANESTRI +79 282
>Terry: DILQU 4B LIQU.D +32 228
>Will: EFIILRT K4 IF +30 312
>Terry: HO J2 HO +30 258
>Will: EILLRTV 1J RILLET +27 339
#note Almost did the top static play of VILLI, which also sims best; I liked the extra points and tiles drawn after RILLET, but it's a tick behind VILLI because of a dramatically lower bingo%.
>Terry: ABP 3A BAP +24 282
>Will: AACNSUV 14A VAUNC. +22 361
#note This took a while to work up the courage to play, and CP and sim both pick it as best by a fair margin, but the usual Quackle caveat applies - Terry is probably much more bingo prone than Quackle expects, so VAUNCE should be docked on that basis. I think I'm up by enough points that any reasonable other option like 5A VAU or 15J AVA will still put me up enough to outrun bingos. Therefore, I shouldn't expose myself to the nightmare 9x scenario.
>Terry: ANS A12 NA.S +24 306
>Will: ?AEGRST D8 TASERi.G +72 433
>Terry: EO 15J OE +13 319
>Will: AAEIMMW 13J AWA +18 451
#note The best block I could muster.
>Terry: OP 12K OP +21 340
>Will: DEIMMRR M1 .IMMER +20 471
#note Blocking a few things that play with OPS/OPE, but I can't stop AEGINST.
>Terry: AEGINST O1 .ANGIEST +83 423
