>JoshuaSokol: ?EHLOSS H4 HOuSELS +76 76
#note SLOSHES stops the most 8s, but this is better long-term, not giving back strong S lanes and fewer 7s. SLOSHES reduces bingos slightly more, but increases average score by too much.
>BernardGotlieb: BCOT 4D BOTC. +24 24
>JoshuaSokol: AIIIJMQ 10F QI. +32 108
>BernardGotlieb: AMW 5C MAW +30 54
>JoshuaSokol: AIIJMSY 3C JAY +40 148
#note I originally thought I had played for 41, but I'm happy to see that I played for 40. Not sure if I had misadded 6B or much preferred the control this provided over the top left as well as scoring defense. It's good to address the west side of the S and E of HOUSELS though, so it could be correct to take the extra point. #questionable
>BernardGotlieb: IO 11E OI +15 69
>JoshuaSokol: AIILMSV 12C VIMS +34 182
#note Not MAVIS for the better vowel/consonant ratio so as not to facilitate access to the bottom via the B column. Keeping the S off could be worth it for extra chances at ending the game next move. #questionable
>BernardGotlieb: AELORST 8F OL.ASTER +59 128
>JoshuaSokol: AAEILRT M7 A.TERIAL +70 252
#note did not think ARTERIAL was a noun. Luckily, this test never occurred.
>BernardGotlieb: DGIU 14J GUI.D +22 150
>JoshuaSokol: AEFOPTX L10 FOX +51 303
#note I am not really addressing the threats on the N and O columns here, so I might be best off playing AXE for 55 on N9 and push the issue now. FAX sims evenly because it keeps the O for GO and might bingo and score slightly more. I figured that might be the case. FOX also makes overlapping easier, but I'm OK with that given what was mentioned about the N and O columns. #questionable
>BernardGotlieb: AOV 15H AVO +21 171
>JoshuaSokol: AEINNPT N1 PINNATE +74 377
>BernardGotlieb: EIP 1L PI.E +33 204
>JoshuaSokol: EKOOUUU -OOUUU +0 377
#note I have the last two O's, so I might want to keep one? It's close, but I think it's clear I should keep the K to score and balance with.
>BernardGotlieb: AEEIRTT J2 TEARIE.T +62 266
>JoshuaSokol: EHKNRWZ 14F ZEK +42 419
#note I like playing (FE)Z now. Keeping a vowel can be very key here, particularly after a 7A bingo starting in a consonant, and the O column is the highest-scoring threat here. This was probabably a spread play. #questionable
>BernardGotlieb: ARY I1 RAY +21 287
>JoshuaSokol: DEHNNRW K3 WHEN +40 459
>BernardGotlieb: BDO 13G BOD +25 312
>JoshuaSokol: ?DELNNU 1D DUNNE. +27 486
>BernardGotlieb: GNRU 7C RUNG +9 321
>JoshuaSokol: ?DEFILU L4 IF +28 514
#note This idea was a good one. Keep DULsE O11 and LUVVED C9. Playing DULsE first is one point better since he can block DULsE with ORC N9. #endgamesmall
>BernardGotlieb: CEGOR C10 CO.ER +20 341
#note I was hoping he would play GRO(V)E and get C-stuck. But then I hallucinated that he also only had one spot for his G. I don't know how to fix this level of stupid. Hopefully it goes away on its own eventually.
>JoshuaSokol: ?DELU 11K L.. +6 520
#note who misses two-letter words? I miss two-letter words. I think I might have been conflating the C's inflexibility with my irrational despisal of the G. #endgameSADDEST
>BernardGotlieb: G 11B G. +3 344
