#note This is a bad play. N1 NOD has the best equity and, unlike CLONING, doesn't open a 3*3. I also missed CODLING? #strategymedium

#note Yes, I saw 14F GRIT. And then I saw KITING, and then I saw TIRING which undoubles my R's and saves the K for 14F, and meanwhile I forgot about GRIT. But I have to draw an A for 14F KA or else the sacrifice isn't worth it. Actually, the best plays are at L10: GYRI, RYKE, and KYRIE block row 14, and GYRI in particular saves the K for 14F and doesn't take any of the four unseen S's. #tacticsmedium
>Christopher: AEELPSS 14H ELAPSES +75 277
>Alec: AEEKRUW 2F WRE.K +32 314
#note Despite that it scores best, Quackle hates WRECK, because it keeps AEU with a vowel-heavy pool; 12K EAU is best, saving WRECK for next turn. #strategymedium
>Christopher: AEFIOOS 1F OOF +40 317
>Alec: AEFMOSU 13J FOAM +37 351
#note 15M FOU is worth the 12-point sacrifice because, again, the pool is vowel-heavy. #strategysmall
>Christopher: AEEGIOS K8 .EA. +20 337
>Alec: ?AEORSU 4B OEStRUA. +66 417
#note Quackle likes 3A AROUsES, but I still like my play. I dismissed AROUsES because it opens column A and a 3*3 lane (it also floats the only R), and I dismissed the defensive-looking 4C ROUSAbLE because it takes an A (although I didn't know it at the time). Of the 4B bingos (cAROUSEL, nEUROSAL, OEStRUAL), OEStRUAL is the only one that doesn't float a consonant, and there is slight challenge potential, considering Christopher challenged CELIBATE previously.
>Christopher: DEEGIOS B14 O. +10 347
>Alec: EELOTUV 10A OVU.E +21 438
#note Yet another example of Quackle being bad at pre-endgames: every play that it recommends fishes to VOLUTE, even though every possible bingo draw is blockable (even if I play E5 tE or E6 RE and draw D/S, B4 OGEES/D blocks B4 OUTLOVED/S, 6A VOLUTED/S, and A8 VOLUTED/S). OVULE appears to be best, as it guarantees an out no matter what I draw.
>Christopher: ADEEGIS A8 GE.DES +27 374
#note GEOIDS is best. (-3)
