>Alec: ACEIOOP 8G CIAO +12 12
#note CoCo Seattle Scrabble tournament round 2. 8E POCO is best, followed by 8G POCO. It turns out that the leave AEI isn't so bad compared to EOP. #strategysmall
>Betty_Cornelison: PRW J6 PR.W +15 15
>Alec: DEEEOPR K9 EPODE +21 33
#note 9I EW is best! With the leave DEEOPR, I threaten a bingo with slightly more than half of all possible draws. #strategymedium
>Betty_Cornelison: ENQU 13I QU.EN +48 63
>Alec: BEEFRRW 12K .WEEB +40 73
>Betty_Cornelison: NNNNN -NNNNN +0 63
#note Betty told me she had only consonants.
>Alec: AEFIRRT O8 FIRE.RAT +167 240
>Betty_Cornelison: ESV 11J V.ES +16 79
>Alec: ADIMOOO K3 MOOI +16 256
#note The equity plays on row 14 give back far too much on row 15. The next-best equity play is N6 AMIDO, followed by K3 MOOI#. Quackle favors N9 OO#, which gives almost nothing back, followed closely by AMIDO; MOOI often allows easy high scores on column L and is thus further down. #strategymedium
>Betty_Cornelison: FY L4 FY +31 110
>Alec: ADELOXZ N14 ZA +46 302
>Betty_Cornelison: ABT M2 BAT +16 126
>Alec: DEHLOXY N1 LOX +37 339
#note How do I choose what X word to play at N1? I chose LOX because among DOX#, HOX#, and LOX, LOX is the hardest to underlap, and its underlaps score the least. Quackle suggests N2 OX, which sets up O1 HYED# for 57 next turn, but it very slightly prefers LOX for win rate. #questionable
>Betty_Cornelison: AT O1 AT +17 143
>Alec: ?DEHIOY N5 HYOID +28 367
#note G2 tHEODICY. #findinglarge
>Betty_Cornelison: NSU J2 NUS +16 159
#note UNQUEEN# is notable.
>Alec: ?EIIKRT G6 TI.KlIER +70 437
#note The other 70-point bingo is G6 dICKTIER#, which I did not know.
>Betty_Cornelison: AIRT 6C TRAI. +7 166
>Alec: ENNNOSV 1H NEON +16 453
#note I wanted to take the ONUS hook, but I don't have a play that does that and keeps well. 11D VENIN is best, blocking 2x2s and leaving ONUS for next turn. #strategylarge
>Betty_Cornelison: AGJRSU E5 J.GUARS +60 226
>Alec: ?ALLNSV 12F L.V +10 463
>Betty_Cornelison: DLO M6 OLD +20 246
>Alec: ?AAELNS B2 ANLASEs +74 537
#note This and B1 ANALySE are the highest-scoring bingos, but they give back high scores on column A. Quackle prefers 2B bANSELA for 68, with C3 kANTELAS and pLATANES and 9G KNAWEL(!) not far behind. #strategylarge
>Betty_Cornelison: CDEINTU A8 INDUCT +39 285
#note Betty chickened out of A8 UNCITED#. (-73)
>Alec: EGGHIM 14H HIM +35 572
