#note There are a lot of people whom I would play TAGLESS* against, but two-time National Champion Dave Wiegand isn't one of them. Unbeknownst to me, however, TAGLESS is good in Collins. With that info, I might have pulled the trigger on it. It's hard to keep those kinds of words straight.

#note There are substantially fewer players whom I would play PIROGHY* against, but the miraculaous O1 placement, for 126 points, sure looked tempting. PIROG sims best here, followed by PYRO. I am resigned to being too stupid to understand why. -4

#note Quackle hates this play, and it probably is wrong. But I really like the way it forces the board open. It won't be easy to block column O or Row 11 without opening a new lane. Maybe PROVE has more merit than the sim gives it credit for. It was certainly a game-changer this time. (-12?)

#note Missing HEEHAW, a word which I have flagged previously as troublesome. Did you see it? (-18) This game is so hard!!

#note I'll rarely if ever outrun the bingo if he has it, so taking out the most options is best. If I'm not an idiot here, and I can fight the adrenaline rush of actually having come back from the dead like Lazarus, I can win this game with UNWOVE 13E. Instead I do this. -11% win chances, -the game.
