#player2 wow wow
>vera: AEG 8F AGE +8 8
>wow: DHIIMRS 9F HIM +22 22
#note HIM is what i usually play, but I was tempted by MIRID to open the board, which is something I want here. I think that or MIDI are probably the best options, but HIM is most standard. MIDI is also nice to not give back easy parallels, maybe MIDI is even always better. yeah
>vera: IO 10E OI +12 20
>wow: ?DIMQRS 11D QIS +35 57
#note good to tack on the S for 9 more here to make overlaps harder and cause my leave is already conso heavy
>vera: IL 12C LI +26 46
>wow: ?DMPRUY E4 UPDRY +30 87
#note omg I totally forgot that DUMPY was a normal word! I thought it might get challenged off hahaha
>vera: HU F3 UH +10 56
>wow: ??AIMNR 13B MIsRANk +81 168
#note MINbARs is worth it. I knew this was phony but it's pretty hard to challenge a word with two blanks
>vera: EKU 10H UKE +14 70
>wow: ABEOTVV J6 ABOV. +12 180
#note thought about playing ABOVE to set up an obscure S hook, but she may know it and ABOVE also sets up a couple nice lanes. ABOV(E) is much more defensive, closing off the YAGE hooks and not giving 8s. I mainly considered ABOVE as a spread move since I was behind Arie in spread
>vera: AOS H12 O.AS +12 82
>wow: DEENTTV 3F .NVETTED +78 258
#note really thought this was good!
>vera: JOS L1 JO.S +38 120
>wow: AFGILLZ 1L .ILL +33 291
>vera: ITY H1 TI.Y +42 162
>wow: AEFGUWZ 15D FUZE. +21 312
#note EW 14E has the nice bonus of drawing GAUZE sometimes! Usually she just takes the spot for a good score though, but the Z can still improve later on. this is the boring safe play
>vera: ABIORST 14H .IRBOATS +74 236
>wow: AEGLOTW O12 WO.T +33 345
#note TOWAGES is probably fine just to make it less likely for her to bingo twice going forward (emptying the bag more quickly, also taking up more space on the right side, allowing better exhaustion next turn). I was again greedy with trying to rack up stpread, but TOWAGES still looks better on that front, says dr. duck
>vera: ADEX K5 AXED +40 276
>wow: AAEEGLP L6 EGAL +27 372
#note keeping AEP just to avoid disaster NNNRRW draws, so not GALEAE
>vera: CEFGRTW M13 C.T +10 286
>wow: AEENNOP 14A EON +17 389
>vera: CEEGINR 6A RECE.ING +66 352
>wow: AEFNPRW A1 FAWNE. +39 428
#note prewar or warper are good, but I wasn't absolutely sure so I took the 100% win
>vera: ADENOR B1 ADO +24 376
>wow: PR 3A ..P +16 444
#note I think we talked about her blocking my out then I forgot that she did not actually block it haha
>vera: ENR 1E REN. +4 380
#note vera did a nice job catching up this game, she struggled with really bingo prone racks at the beginning that didn't quite work, but got a lot of momentum at the end
>vera: (R) +2 382
