Game 1
Flip a coin (a four-sided one) between HOYLE, HOLEY, HOYA, and COYED. HOYA and COYED leave a bit better, but I was swayed by the potential parallel givebacks, which seem slightly less hazardous with HOYLE.

#note Sim wants to pig the points with 12L KNEW, keeping EEI. In a shootout I thought it was more important to stay balanced and ready to strike. I also don't mind covering up this particular hotspot; there are plenty of others of course, but none which can swing the game quite like this one.

#note Listen, don't take this rack the wrong way. WE(A)N is co-best with 1A JINNE(E), which I looked for and missed. I think JINNEE is probably better here: as open as the board is now, it can close in a hurry; hence dropping a soft lifeline to the left side of the board is something I was definitely looking to do.

#note Passing up 10J plays for 2 more points, a better leave, a block of (AD)S bingos in row fourteen, and preservation of the N floater in CROONIER, which without holding an S is my only realistic bingo chance. Sim approves.

#note Score one for human beings. Sim doesn't auto-generate this but it ends up co-best with the obvious/standard play of (J)UN for 10 more. It looked to me like the pool was rather unlikely to consummate with this D and that my leave was very likely to consummate with it.

#note 3C TID(ED) to block opp's best play and threaten D2 Q(I)S. Somehow I missed the S(U)Q spot at 7I which makes that path feasible. Fortunately this was good enough.
