#note EYESTr(AI)N is awesome and I missed it! Even though TYNE keeping ES? O1 is 47 points and normally worth it to do over bingoing, I thought the defensive merits of TEENtSY were too important to pass up. Quackle prefers TYNE.

#note I chose this over Q(A)T 5J to remove some easier bingo lanes. Quackle prefers QAT.

#note Awesome find! Michael wondered after the game if the other placement was better. We thought maybe based on how the game unfolded, the other placement did not allow for as many easy Z plays right after. Quackle agrees, I average 2 more points with this version, but it's a very tough nuanced decision that isn't easy to see in the moment.
>Morris_Greenberg: AEINNOU 5A .ONAE +28 398
#note EO(L)IAN 14F is a beautiful play that I missed here. Quackle likes that, NO(Y)AU 14K, and UNIO(N) more than this. I don't think I put enough energy into this turn, I just assumed that playing ZONAE had to be the idea here and autopiloted.
>Michael_Fagen: GHIKOOT 1H GOO. +26 383
#note Another very tough turn for Michael. The bag is pretty ugly here. Quackle comes up with the pretty KOI 4D for 28 which sets up the remaining 4 tiles of GOTH directly above it for 31.
>Morris_Greenberg: DILNRUU D1 URIN.L +14 412
#note I had some time here, so I spent 8ish minutes on this turn. No bingos are available. There are a few threats in the top left (HAIK(A), KHI) as well as HAIKA at 12A. I need to be able to outrun HAIKA, so I figured I should play as many tiles as possible now, and hope to go out/score enough to outrun the following turn with whichever 2 remaining of IOTU I draw. This did a better job of doing so than DURI(A)N (e.g, drawing OT gives DO(N)UT with URINAL, but nothing with DURIAN, and gives D(H)UTI through the H in HAIKA with IT draw but nothing with DURIAN). I did not consider shorter plays enough in these 2 tile draw calculations, but Quackle really likes (H)URL 3A here. There are a lot of situations after HAIKA where I can outrun with a triple play from the H after HURL, so options like HI(Y)A 14K become the best, whereas playing URINAL gives AKI(N) as an option (so if the rack is AAHIKTU, for instance, AKI(N) threating HAUT 12B and HAU(N)T 11J would win here, but wouldn't with (H)URL because (H)IND after HAIKA would still score enough). Really fun preendgame/endgame, I wish I solved it slightly better
