#note Word Cup 2022 Round 5.
>Matthew_Larocque: BLOOQRR 7H BOLO +21 21
#note Somehow this ended up being possibly my worst game ever. Exchange leaving an R sims best, but not by much. The awkwardness of this position would follow me all game long.
>Sid_Murali: CELT 6I CELT +26 52
>Matthew_Larocque: EIQRRTT -QRT +0 21
#note I can score 21 again at 8K, with TRITE simming best, and much more strongly than last turn. Maybe I get to play Q(I) next turn? But floating out letters on an otherwise garbage board keeping the Q has its own risks. Ugh.
>Sid_Murali: EJ L4 JE. +20 72
>Matthew_Larocque: EINNNRT 4L .INN +12 33
#note I missed 8K RENIN 21, which looks like a huge mistake now.
>Sid_Murali: ACENP 8K PECAN +35 107
>Matthew_Larocque: EEFNRTV O1 FER. +21 54
#note I guess I just missed the F hook on LOP, as dumb as that is. I mean it's staring right at me.
>Sid_Murali: GHO N2 HO.G +28 135
>Matthew_Larocque: AEEMNTV L8 .VENT +16 70
#note I also couldn't see the A hook on COX and missed (C)AVEMEN. I was perhaps too concerned with trying to open the board and ended up not even looking under COX.
>Sid_Murali: AILW M10 WAIL +23 158
>Matthew_Larocque: ADELMTZ 3M M.. +18 88
#note 9H DAM, or maybe ZED hooking JINN? The latter allows me to attempt to access the top left which is otherwise just dead area.
>Sid_Murali: ENOPY N11 PEONY +30 188
>Matthew_Larocque: ADELTTZ H7 ..LTED +11 99
#note I think I didn't even count how many points I could score with TEA or TAE. I still can't see COXA either, and the D is still handy to open by hooking JINN. I do have to open in order to have any kind of chance, but I may have bled too mant points already...

>Sid_Murali: GGI 12D GIG +18 242
>Matthew_Larocque: DDIST 13C DID +20 155
#note Missed this rack, did I really draw all 4 Ds and never used one of them to play DJINN?
>Sid_Murali: AERT 14D TEAR +18 260
>Matthew_Larocque: EIIORST J4 TE.. +4 159
#note I know this is pointless but whatever.

>Sid_Murali: AFIORSU 3E FURIOSA +67 497
>Matthew_Larocque: EIIRSSU 6N SI +15 189
#note The game is so far gone this is basically a free challenge, but I thought I had seen FURIOSA before. It's FURIOSO! This blocks I(N)URES O7 which is supposed to be my out because (F)URIES probably gets blocked. so I have to play SI somewhere else.
