>Alan_Whitman: BHO 8G HOB +16 16
>Matthew_Larocque: GILORVY 9E IVORY +35 35
#note Two bingos, findable words too. I wanted to "set the tone" for myself by not wasting 10 minutes on the first 2-3 turns.
>Alan_Whitman: Q E8 Q. +11 27
>Matthew_Larocque: ADEGILR 10G GAED +28 63
#note Not a rack or a board worth playing short on, IMO.
>Alan_Whitman: DEN 11J END +11 38
>Matthew_Larocque: BEILMRT L8 BRI.LE +24 87
#note I didn't know the 7.
>Alan_Whitman: DEZ 14J ZED +44 82
>Matthew_Larocque: AAEEMTW 15H TEAM +33 120
#note Forgot about ZEDA here for some reason, although plays like WAE set up a behemoth bingo column ending in -ES. I should also play AWA or WETA instead here. Keeping AEW isn't worth an extra point or 3.
>Alan_Whitman: INR 8L .RIN +18 100
>Matthew_Larocque: AEOSUUW 12L .UAU +5 125
#note Missing ZEDA again, U(N)AU sets up the X I don't have. Why didn't I know OWSE was a 4-letter word?
>Alan_Whitman: AJNT O11 J.NTA +36 136
>Matthew_Larocque: EHLOSSW 10B WOES +27 152
#note I didn't know HOW took the s. HOWLS/HOGS would seem to give back many points. WOS/HOBS would be better if I had a T. Missed WHO/HOBO. Simulation slightly favours HOWS 10B, hoping Alan has none of the hooks for it.
>Alan_Whitman: IKO 14F KOI +19 155
>Matthew_Larocque: HILORST 13K H.T +24 176
#note I must have blanked on OK... plus I had kind of tunneled into this spot as a place to cash my H. 13C LIROTH is 35, THIOL is 27.
>Alan_Whitman: III -III +0 155
>Matthew_Larocque: EIILORS 15E OI +8 184
#note Fishing, so wanted to keep WOES open too just in case.
>Alan_Whitman: EIMPR C9 M.PIER +26 181
#note He might have forgotten about MOI?
>Matthew_Larocque: EILRSTU J2 RUTILES +70 254
#note Missed the 8 through the I, which would get played on me later in the tournament. In a way that you'll never miss the word again.
>Alan_Whitman: ANW 12A WA.N +22 203
>Matthew_Larocque: ?AAEINX I2 AXE +39 293
#note I'm so weak bingoing with the X, but luckily scoring 35-45 keeping the blank is pretty solid in most cases. Plus, this mucks up the board for Alan.
>Alan_Whitman: ACFL 5G CAL.F +31 234
>Matthew_Larocque: ??AAFIN A12 .AIF +30 323
#note Two words play to the N, beyond my knowledge.
>Alan_Whitman: CDNOO M3 CONDO. +20 254
>Matthew_Larocque: ??AENPU 12H PUN +12 335
#note I either had the E or the O, because the only word I could entertain trying was *EUPNOEAN. In fact, there's nothing with an O, and only two words play with the E. UNSHAPEN/UNHAPPEN. I played this instead of UP/PAR because I thought playing to an N with another N would be more challenging.
>Alan_Whitman: GY H4 Y.G +21 275
>Matthew_Larocque: ??AEIOT O1 vEnATIO. +71 406
#note YES
>Alan_Whitman: EEGLSTV H1 EL +9 284
#note He was low on time, and there are few plays that dump the V (or multiple letters at least).
>Matthew_Larocque: RS 4L S.R. +8 414
#note Only out.
>Matthew_Larocque: (EGSTV) +18 432
#note Pretty bad game for me, the blanks just inflated the spread at the end.
