#note My ultimate decision was between this and BRUGH. GRAPHS stands out on the sim, with BURGH second. A nice thing about GRAPHS that I didn't notice is that I can draw into DIGRAPHS. Carl might often have a GRAPHS extension himself, which would leave us on a board with tons of bingo lines.

#note I think I scored BREWSkIS as 80. I seem to have done it again when counting it while Quackling ... my error was maybe to count the B as worth one point. I considered SWIpERS, which I was pretty sure was good and added in 2014, and flagged in my mind as importantly phony before then, so I had the idea that Carl might challenge. But I sort of didn't like the Q/X spot it gave up. I'm not sure I realized that SWIPERS didn't give up QI, though. I don't think I was conscious of SWIShERS when I played this. I think either BREWSkIS, SWIpERS, or WIShERS was correct here. Maybe SWIpERS.

#note Pretty sure Carl played this quickly.
>Noah: ADEEEIN 4J A.EE +14 154
#note Mostly considered EIDE L1 as an alternative. It's simming a bit better.

#note Not sure if this is the right idea, though the sim likes it. Maybe ANNOY D11 instead? I liked the idea of YONI 5H, but it doesn't actually seem like a good play.
>Carl: AEHMOST B10 MAHOE +44 217
#note Actual rack. Carl seemed to regret this, saying after the game that maybe he should've played EH B9 or HOMAS. I'm not convinced.

#note Maybe I should've considered QI M7, which blocks bingo lanes and can draw into GROTTIER.

#note When looking at possible draws, I was hit by how well this seemed to work out ... I checked OXYTONES, though not that thoroughly, and it seemed like I would be slightly OK every time he had that. After EXSECANT, it was possible I wouldn't draw an A for AFRIT, but if I didn't, I would have AUTOGYRO! I don't think I realized that if he ended up with the O, I would also have AUTOGYRO. This does look like a 100% win.
