#note he put down OUTVIED first and then took the D off. I figured that meant he had DE, DO or DA. That was enough for me not to want to play 4A CLAW or CRAW, since he hits the C triple nicely and I don't. Quackle agrees with a D inferred, though it's close.

>JoshuaSokol: CEIKLRW B2 WI.KER +34 97
#note I figured WICK was better here, but I couldn't be sure SWICK* was invalid. CGIIKNSW is in my cardbox for a reason. fwiw WICKER sims slightly better despite the worse leave and the easy triple donation, due to 8 points. His leave after BRAND had to be decent, but maybe not high-scoring. Though a bingo on the A column would suck. #questionable
>SethLipkin: FOPU A6 POUF +33 69
>JoshuaSokol: CDDELNT J2 CL.D +24 121
#note this is a fun example of "danger levels". Despite Y(CLAD) being a very big hook, the likelihood that will matter significantly is not high enough to counteract the strength of DENT over DNT (alternative play being CLADE in the same spot)
>SethLipkin: AAIMNST C7 STAMINA +76 145
>JoshuaSokol: DEENTTU 13B T.UTENED +62 183
#note I was ready to play UNTENTED despite being unsure, but he gave me an A to play through, and I decided to make a big sacrifice to play something I was sure of. Once I played TAUTENED I started getting a bit pissed off at myself. I had been convinced UNTENTED was valid, but was more like 70% beforehand. 30% of the time I lose way too much to justify not taking around a 10 point sacrifice, but this assumes Seth will always know. Once again intimidated by the word knowledge, to a fault. Seth was likely to have challenged this, as he demonstrated when I asked him about UNTENTED after the game. #knowledgeSADDEST
>SethLipkin: JLL H12 J.LL +57 202
>JoshuaSokol: AOPSUYZ 1H SOYUZ +92 275
#note this was kind of stupid. Don't take any lessons from me basically worst-case-scenario-ing the Y-CLAD hook. CLAD was still fine, even if Seth had drawn into this instead.
>SethLipkin: EFT A1 FET +25 227
>JoshuaSokol: AGOOPRS I10 GOO. +15 290
#note Could not decide between AGO 2L and GOO(D). In the end I couldn't quite justify the risk involved with opening the O column, even if it was to only one N and two G's. Quackle thinks it's very close. I wanted to just score here, but there are just wayyy too many vowels in the pool to play something like RASP and SPORA(L). I love when Quackle mimics my waffling between two candidates by itself also waffling between the two. 5000 iterations in and it slightly prefers AGO by .13 win% with a tied valuation. #questionable
>SethLipkin: AQ E11 QA. +24 251
>JoshuaSokol: AOPRRSS 14A RASPS +45 335
#note Sad miss of ASPERSOR. That locks the game in so much better than this. #findingSADDEST
>SethLipkin: EEGINRT 7G E.TERING +62 313
>JoshuaSokol: ?AABMOR 15F BA.MORAl +62 397
#note I missed a good bingo here, M5 AB(N)ORMAl. I looked for a long time. This is good to block the L, but it's potentially just too good to block LMN columns. A lot of the time if he bingos, I could just have really bad stuff and lose. BAROGRAM through the G is nice to score, but completely unjustified in what it opens up. I could lose to two huge scoring plays too, not just a bingo, given the horrible stuff unseen. This play allows me to block very well next turn, but stuff like IVORIEs N9 is pretty bad to give up. #questionable
>SethLipkin: EIORV 2D VIREO +12 325
>JoshuaSokol: ?EIIOWY 14J YO +28 425
#note I really didn't want to play YOWIEs N10 because of the I draws, but this has to be worse. I ran out of time. Quackle likes 11E (Q)I, which is hilarious. I think this is just bad. YOWIEs has to be better #strategySAD

#note I should just go out. I chickened out of WIGGIER and missed WINGIER. I also had like 7 seconds. #endgameSAD
