>Matthew_Larocque: AIIOQST 8G QI +22 22

>Nicholas_Tam: AEGRY 15G GRAYE. +33 72
>Matthew_Larocque: EEGIOVV N6 VOGIE. +20 148
#note You can't pluralize this word, oops. I was determined to kill the S and missed the simple 14A VOE or the V-clearing 13J VOTIVE.
>Nicholas_Tam: AEO E11 AE.O +8 80
>Matthew_Larocque: CELOSTV 8L VO.S +36 184
#note I kind of wanted to keep the S just because it's perfect for the dangling QI, but these points are too many to neglect. I also considered VLOGS for less.
>Nicholas_Tam: PZ 10F Z.P +38 118
>Matthew_Larocque: CEELNST 12A CEL +15 199
#note Missed LENTO/CENTO underneath for way more points. After giving him some annoying Vs to work with, I was still in defense-first mode.
>Nicholas_Tam: OY 14I YO +19 137
>Matthew_Larocque: EELNSTW 7M W. +18 217
#note Besides killing this J spot, it's a decent enough rack to fish with anyways.
>Nicholas_Tam: ?DEMNOR D5 MiNORED +63 200
>Matthew_Larocque: DEELNST 6A ENL.STED +62 279
#note I really did miss LISTENED lol, and forgot the third word in this rack.
>Nicholas_Tam: IMN E3 NIM. +24 224
>Matthew_Larocque: DEFIIRU 3C FU.DI +20 299
#note I saw DEIFIER for 45, but it was a total guess that I didn't want to try. There's also EDIFIER and REIFIED for the same score.
>Nicholas_Tam: ?AALNRT 5G NATuRAL +67 291
#note No it isn't!
>Matthew_Larocque: AAEEEIR 5A AE +6 305
#note Ugh. I should have realized that this is not worth blocking like this. He still has the hotspot at 4L which is even easier to use. I'm pretty sure I even saw AREIC for 21, but though keeping the R was worth losing 15 points? Yeah it's a bad rack, but I'm better than this.
>Nicholas_Tam: BCPW -CBPW +0 291
#note lol
>Matthew_Larocque: ABEEHIR 4L HERB +36 341
#note I was low enough on time here that I couldn't weigh this versus HE/HEBE and 13J BATHE. My general rule when I have no time left is to just take whatever points I can now. It's the simplest thing to do, and I won't have time to maximise points over several turns by withholding scoring letters on purpose. Sim likes 13J BATHE best.
>Nicholas_Tam: AWX 4H WAX +38 329
>Matthew_Larocque: ACEIIJO 8A JIA. +33 374
#note Gonna be awhile before seeing COTIJA becomes second nature. 2A JOE is clever, setting up an unblockable AJI. I wish I had saved time to look for that.
>Nicholas_Tam: ABEFLNT O1 FLA. +27 356
>Matthew_Larocque: CEIOP 13J CO.E +20 394
#note ZIPPO! 2F EPIC also looks obvious, but I knew I just needed to get a word down to win.
>Nicholas_Tam: BENT 2G BENT +12 368
>Nicholas_Tam: (IP) +8 376
