#note very sad that I couldn't find the anagram of this. I figured it probably wasn't any better, but I was really upset that I couldn't anagram something I was almost certain was there.

#note she overdrew and I turned over DEN. Had to think a while about it on my time. Decided that there were a lot of unseen vowels and if I had to guess she kept one with BIOPSY (this is probably not actually a thing). So I gave back the E. Also thought the 14 row spot favoured a D, so I gave back the N. Was definitely afraid I was giving her a bingo here, and I certainly could do something more creative, but likely worse. #questionable

#note this was very tricky. I felt I could not outrun the worst of her bingos after playing on the 1 row, but that if she bingo-ed there next turn, I could outrun with this and then a play like TOY at 14H. I would then be up 120 minus her bingo, and I guess it would depend on if she had an out or not, but I could probably often block since 4 letters are difficult to go out with. However, if I draw the J, I might run into some endgame troubles. I didn't see anything that played from the P or the A and indeed there is nothing. Only a few bingos exist, and blocking the 1 row blocks JEHADIS, and blocking the 15 row blocks HIDEOUS. Everything else plays in two spots. The worst thing about this play is if she draws into one of the bingos, which will play in both spots and I might not be able to outrun. But if she has the J I think she will be very drawn to playing it off, since she would not know that I retain the last two T's, which should help her bingo without said J. Regardless, my gut now tells me that I should play on column 1 to block one of the lines. #questionable
