>Matthew_Larocque: ?AACGGN H8 AG +6 6
#note No bingos, but I should probably play GAG instead. I overestimated the chances of getting an ING bingo.
>John_Merleau: DEIKNSU -UK +0 0
#note He could have played KAGU! KUE for 21 leaves the still-pretty-good DINS.
>Matthew_Larocque: ?AACGNR 10B CARNAGe +70 76
#note I draw into a rack with only 1 seven, and a couple of cool eights that are far beyond me. Fortunately, I find the seven.
>John_Merleau: DEIINSV D4 DIVINE.S +76 76
#note The eights were ARMAGNAC and CARAGANA!
>Matthew_Larocque: BDNNORT 5C B.ND +14 90
>John_Merleau: AEILOOQ C7 QI +44 120
>Matthew_Larocque: INORTVY B8 VI.TORY +36 126
#note VANITORY.
>John_Merleau: AEFLOOU A11 ALOOF +39 159
>Matthew_Larocque: DEIIMNO 9H .EMINOID +64 190
#note Sad that I never took the time to find DOMINIE. I was leaning towards this not being a word, either. In the moment, it seemed like a good time to guess with a meh rack. I must have dismissed the possibility that there was a seven as soon as I saw *GEMINOID.
>John_Merleau: BEEELTU O4 BELTE. +36 195
#note 8K BUTLE 44!
>Matthew_Larocque: AOOPSWX 8J OXO +27 217
#note 11D SOX/SAX are 6 more, but I guess I didn't feel great about leaving him the floaters with that kind of a leave. After my two bingos, it seemed like he was more likely to bingo before me getting a third one.
>John_Merleau: AAEFIMU 10M IF +28 223
#note E8 AMNIA!
>Matthew_Larocque: ?AEPPSW N2 SWAP +26 243
#note I may have missed 7H WAP. I see now that the S gets blocked here most of the time since the scoring potential I have set up isn't really comparable to anything else on the board.
>John_Merleau: AAEGMUU M3 AGA +29 252
>Matthew_Larocque: ?CEHKPU 11J PUCK +31 274
#note I wasn't sure whether the P or the H was better for bingos, but sim gives the nod to HUCK.
>John_Merleau: EEMRUUW 11D .UM +18 270
#note If I was him, I'd have to consider keeping both Us here to get rid of the W. F10 AURUM is the play though, I don't think I've ever played that word before? Simulation likes 7G EWER second best.
>Matthew_Larocque: ?ADEHNY L11 .ANDY +30 304
#note I normally dislike putting the Y there, but it might give me a chance to play an eight. Again, I think I missed the more conservative 7H YAH.
>John_Merleau: EEORSUW 15L .OWE +30 300
>Matthew_Larocque: ?EEEHIO 6D .OE +15 319
#note OVINE duh! I could also play VINE to set up OH/OVINE, since only a couple of letters can muck it up. Close call. It scores pretty good, but it delays a potential bingo with the game coming to a close.
>John_Merleau: EILRSSU N8 R..S +22 322
#note Even though there are Rs to come, I'd still prefer keeping it here.
>Matthew_Larocque: ?EEHIRR 13G ERRHI.Es +74 393
>John_Merleau: EIJLNSU C3 JI. +27 349
#note Tough to have the J here since he can't even really make a setup for himself.
>Matthew_Larocque: AEELRTU H12 T.UE +15 408
#note Not sure. I was just hoping to squeak by here, really. Are there even any bingos he could have next turn?
>John_Merleau: EEHLNSU O1 UH +20 369
#note HAW gives him 50% to draw either ELUENTS or UNREELS, but then I play ZA every time. Champ concurs that there's nothing to do here.
>Matthew_Larocque: AELRTTZ 15C TEAZL. +16 424
#note OYEZ with the sneaky setup, but it's blockable. Of course, I thought *TRAW was valid and left me with two outs here.
>John_Merleau: EELNST 5K ET... +14 383
#note He can score 24 on the word I just put down, and ETAPE offers me an out I'll never miss.
>Matthew_Larocque: RT F8 TR.. +6 430
>Matthew_Larocque: (ELNS) +8 438
