#note actual rack. I would tend toward HO here, or HERIOT sometimes

#note liked AENS with the TER lanes open, but considered BEANO as well to muck things up. This kills a sim, more defensive than BEANO anyways

#note On stream, a few people saw me putting my fingers in front of two tiles at a time, cycling through all the tiles. This is to anagram all the 5 tile combos in the rack, so you cover up DE, DK, DN, DO, DP, DT, EK, EN, etc. and can quickly find the 5 in each remaining set. I find this technique useful for finding 5 letter words, or 6 letter words to/from a tile

#note considered YOM as well. Decided against it because there's upside to having the P as a lane there for my strong leave anyways, and mainly cause blocks are pretty easy and score fairly well for her, so I end up sacrificing more than she does. The two plays are tight in a sim, which means YOM is definitley not worth it

#note Saw IMPLEDGE and LEDGIEST, but wasn't sure of ledgiest. missed BEGUILED, which is clearly best. LEDGIEST is nice to exhaust the board, but I still prefer GIMLETED cause taking out the O column for free is great, meaning I don't have to do it later - the TUTUS hook is a smaller danger than the P lane.

#note SCABIOSA, SARCOIDS, BIRACIAL, BIRADIAL, BASIDIAL, RASORIAL, BIOCIDAL, CARABID, BASIDIA, ABROSIA, ASCIDIA, ACAROID, ASCARID, ADAGIOS, BARRIOS, CORRIDA, CARDIOS, CIRSOID on the bottom. ACARBOSE, BIGARADE, CARRIAGE, BIRDCAGE, DISGRACE, IDOCRASE, and BARRACKS play on the top. I didn't permute all this over the board of course, and my intuition was wrong that the 2 lane was more dangerous than the bottom rows - however, a lot of the 7s give back enough that I can outrun. I missed WA(N)G(A)N and GALE(A) 12I, which both look better than wha tI played just for outrunning. WAN is really not a great play, the only advantage is that if he bingoes he often doesn't draw an out play with 4 tiles, so I can squeak out some endgames. However, I think just GALEA should win enough by outrunning. I could do SLEWING here as well to block all the bottom and just accept when he bingoes out. Champ likes WAN best, probably because I keep GaLE(A) in reserve a lot to outrun row 14 bingoes. I think GALEA or SLEWING are the best.
