#note tough call, and it does feel weird to make a big sacrifice based on an inference in this position, cause its hard to make confident inferences here. However, I do feel like she has consonant heavy bingo leaves often enough to make this decent. The big advantage to phonying with vernon* is that she can S hook it and I'll challenge it off, and since its 10 points its hard to challenge. NOVE(L) is the only other realistic play I considered, and I think it's totally fine and even leads more to the kind of board I want here, but VERNON has a lot of upside between keeping a bingo heavy leave for response bingoes and the challenge upside.

#note I really like shedding the Q and scoring points, which is thematic and flexible in case she bingoes (dont want to have to waste a turn shedding the Q when she bingoes and want the flexibility to block next turn). QI and KETO are the other considerations. QI bingoes a fair amount, and its nice keeping the blank for the later game as well. Quackle prefers those two plays but I'm not sure

#note Not sure what to do here. Exchanging down to E or EM, MOUE at E5 or 7E, EMEUTE, and EAU were all plays I considered. EMEUTE was the play that felt the best, even though the downside was pretty clear. If she bingoes or hits 15 for big with a Z and I don't draw an S, the board is pretty open and I could lose to another bingo or big scoring play. however, after EAU she can double double with OPAL or bingo through the I and I can draw another two vowels and just slowly lose to one bingo. Exchanging seems okay honestly, I was of course paranoid about triple triples, but the pool is really not especially good and the blanks are gone, so I think that's a risk I can take. MOUE/OPAL gave me the fear that she'd hit a Z play there or a big 7, but I think that's not actually so bad cause I can play off of AGITA and start killing things. I am liking MOUE for 18 the most now. This is classic paranoia, and I think it's probably just bad but i'm not totally sure
