#note Quackle's strong preference for ZEN over YEZ is interesting. Apparently, I bingo slightly more after YEZ than after ZEN (74% versus 69%), but I score more both when I bingo than when I don't if I hang on to the Y, making ZEN the sim winner by a whopping seven points. I am so stuck in the paradigm of saving AEINRST stuff to bingo that playing ZEN instead was a notion that I very briefly entertained and promptly dismissed as too unconventional to be reasonable. We live and learn, I guess, and experience teaches us when to reject guidelines that aren't universally applicable. Not having OYEZ probably also hurts me.

#note I failed to write down my leave here, pretty sure I kept the L. Not being sure about CLONINGS at the time that I played this makes this play less optimal than it might otherwise be.

#note Things aren't looking too good, and the board is rapidly evolving in a direction that doesn't favor me. What am I even supposed to do here? In these positions I just play for equity and hope that I get an opportunity to open things up in an advantageous way on some future turn.

#note FE C13 wins a sim, however, in this situation I need to create lines, and hope that Lou can't immediate block them profitably and I immediately draw into something.

#note This is probably my best shot.

#note Giving up prematurely here; I am now six games into a losing streak and am struggling with a defeatist attitude. AMI C7 for 17 is a great play, setting up a second spot for sevens; Lou will probably try to block that spot, and if I get something with WILDS or an unlikely eight through the R in FERIA I could steal the win.
