>Matthew_Larocque: ABEEKLT H8 BLEAK +32 32
>Maureen_Clifford: ITTY 12H .ITTY +24 24
>Matthew_Larocque: AEHIOPT I7 POI +16 48
#note THIOTEPA
>Maureen_Clifford: APR J6 PAR +20 44
>Maureen_Clifford: APR -- -20 24
#note This almost got past me - phony 3 letter words are so rarely played that I barely even check them now, I guess. She was about to draw letters, and I had even updated the score. It ended up being pointless, because I never corrected the score after challenging. She still got the 20 points anyways!
>Matthew_Larocque: AEHLTUV K8 VAUL. +16 64
#note 11G VALUE scores 8 more. This does block the spot she tried to use, but I don't think that matters since it just creates an alternating staircase where I still get to score.
>Maureen_Clifford: APR 11G R.P +9 33
>Matthew_Larocque: CEHOSTU F8 COUTHES +72 136
>Matthew_Larocque: CEHOSTU -- -72 64
#note Did I mention I'm not a morning person? It's spelled COUTHS!!!
>Maureen_Clifford: ?ACDLSU 13B sCAULDS +84 117
>Maureen_Clifford: ?ACDLSU -- -84 33
#note It turned out that BLEAKS is actually valid. If she had played the valid CAULDS keeping the blank, I could have been in some real trouble!
>Matthew_Larocque: CEHOSTU F8 TOUCHES +74 138
#note Scores 88 forming BLEAKS.
>Maureen_Clifford: ?ACDLSU 13C CLU.D +20 53
>Matthew_Larocque: EFNOORZ E4 FROZEN +40 178
#note I didn't want her to have anything easy, so either this or FROZE. There were enough Ns left to grab extra points, I thought.
>Maureen_Clifford: ?ABNS 10J B.N +11 64
>Matthew_Larocque: EEJOORR 9K .E +4 182
#note Quackle's never going to do this, obviously. If she's going to bingo, I'm not letting her just tack an S onto BUN.
>Maureen_Clifford: AQU J5 QUA +18 82
>Matthew_Larocque: AEEJORR 4J AERO +21 203
#note Again, Quackle is never playing this. It sets up another J spot while making cheap Q points harder to obtain, and taking away the A hook for bingos.
>Maureen_Clifford: ?INSV K3 V.IN +38 120
>Matthew_Larocque: ADEIJOR D1 JIAO +48 251
>Maureen_Clifford: ?NNOSS 8A SONN.. +21 141
#note This was her rack, plus another unknown letter.
>Matthew_Larocque: ADEEIOR 1A RIO.A +36 287
>Maureen_Clifford: ?FRST 2B FR.T +28 169
>Matthew_Larocque: DEEEMSX 7A EME +15 302
#note Postponing the X - it's extremely hard to bingo after this, with only weak options from the S or through the O.
>Maureen_Clifford: ?ASW 13L AW +15 184
>Matthew_Larocque: ADEEHSX N8 HEXADES +124 426
#note It's pretty rare to win the high bingo prize when it isn't a 3x3.
>Maureen_Clifford: ?ADGIST - +0 184
>Matthew_Larocque: ?GGINWY O4 GWINe +42 468
#note If it was earlier in the game, I'd play WHY. No point keeping IGGN? at this stage. 6 more points, get rid of a G, do something with the Y next turn.
>Maureen_Clifford: ?ADGIST O13 DIG +25 209
>Matthew_Larocque: EEGIITY 3K .EG +22 490
#note Not sure, but I didn't know what else I could do with the G.
>Maureen_Clifford: ?AEST 6B ET +14 223
>Matthew_Larocque: DEIIMTY F3 ITEM +30 520
#note Leaves me with YID or IDLY. Champ says D1 MILTY is a little better. Probably because she has an out next turn.
>Maureen_Clifford: ?ALORS D10 ORA. +8 231
#note She has a bunch of words from the S while forming YAS. Also OLESTRAS/ESCOLARS through ES.
>Matthew_Larocque: DIY G1 YID +14 534
>Matthew_Larocque: (?LS) +4 538
#note Scored as 531-249. 25 points off target... I know the game wasn't close, but what happens when I'm this careless and lose by 20?
