#note I missed GUINEP which seems pretty clearly best. Not sure why I discarded PUB, that seems alright. BING also makes more sense than BEGIN/BINGE/BEING. BEGIN seemed better than BEING to not set up the scoring spot but really floating the E is probably just as bad. Didn't like BINGE cause of the hooks.

#note could probably just play M9 MOUND here, worry more about the bingo spot than the scoring spot. I missed MOUND, I like it more in hindsight #questionable

#note Quackle likes 10G SAICES but I'm not sold, seems like not what I want to accomplish. 11C ASEA seems more reasonable to me. I might still do ABOVE though.

#note challenged COALA. It just looked so unfamiliar. But it was only 7 points and why would josh be playing a phony 5 that we should both know? So I really had no business challenging this
>Josh_Sokol: ?ADENOY C2 ANnOYED +75 290
#note top left needs some love, I also missed everything and was starting to use up too much time. Wanted to get rid of SPIN for the rest of the game and coast. This is probably one of those "crazy ideas" Noah Walton thinks I have but I stand by it

>Chloe_Fatsis: AFHIKMS 2B H.KIM +40 311
#note I missed M1 KHAF which bingoes a ton more than HAKIM. It's still gonna be tough but I wonder if I draw the blank and play an O8 bingo while preventing him from bingoing from the easier 7s lane that HAKIM sets up I might be able to win? The board is so open it seems likely he'd be able to bingo anyway

>Chloe_Fatsis: ADEFNOS 5E OF +20 331
#note I thought this was a pretty straightforward fishing turn but i guess not. DEFAN(G) is an option i missed which Quackle really likes. I guess it banks on him not bingoing next turn, and me bingoing on row 1 and him not being able to bingo? That's probably a more winning path forward, since otherwise we're likely to just trade bingoes
>Josh_Sokol: ?ELRTTV 11I V.. +13 395
#note saw that this might lose 1/13 times if I drew the N but I was almost positive she had the N on her rack already, and unsure if I would still lose. BREVeT A4 seems to be the best play here, it only appears to not win if Chloe has EATERIE(S) and draws the A, in which case we tie. This seems wayyy less likely than the chance I draw an N multiplied by the chance she draws wins in the endgame after a bingo that blocks NeTTLER(S) O8, but both are incredibly unlikely scenarios. I also saw that playing off two consonants ran into certain bad draws, but a precise two-letter draw is less likely than a precise 1-letter draw, so I thought that maybe 2 problematic two-tile draws were less likely than 1 one-tile draw. I should actually learn how to calculate the specifics here. There also might be an 100% win that I missed. #questionable
