>Morris_Greenberg: ADEENRW 8D WANED +26 26
#note Quackle slightly prefers WE, that is the type of play I normally make. Chris made a comment that made it pretty clear he was going to exchange so I was fine taking the points here and having first opportunity to hit the hotspots.
>Christopher_Sykes: AAIIUUV -AAIIUUV +0 0
#note Chris's actual rack, he showed them to me before exchanging.
>Morris_Greenberg: ACEFLNR 7D ALEF +29 55
#note I was fine with this, especially because since Chris just exchanged AAIIUUV, there is less of a chance he has an A than a random bag. A bunch of things are close in a Quackle sim, it really is all about the flavor of game you want to play.
>Christopher_Sykes: LLOT 9G TOLL +16 16
>Morris_Greenberg: CENNORZ 10D COZEN +47 102
>Christopher_Sykes: AJW 6D JAW +51 67
>Morris_Greenberg: EHMNNRV E10 .HM +16 118
#note Quackle prefers (O)VEN. I disliked the spot it created, but if it doesn't give Chris a bingo, he'll likely give me good counterplay.
>Christopher_Sykes: ?EIMOST K5 MOdISTE +87 154
>Morris_Greenberg: CDENNRV 6J C.VEN +18 136
#note I was choosing between COVEN and DOVEN and ultimately thought CNR isn't 3 points better than DNR. I failed to consider DEV(O)N, which Quackle says is roughly as good as COVEN.
>Christopher_Sykes: DEGPSU O1 PUDGES +47 201
>Morris_Greenberg: DDEENRS D12 END +16 152
#note I was wondering if (DON)DERED* was valid, I did not think of (DON)NERED in the moment. I prefer this anyways, Chris said after the game he kept drawing an S whenever I created an S lane, so just got a bit unlucky here. Quackle also really likes playing DE(V) L4 or DE 11G to keep the stronger RENDS leave.
>Christopher_Sykes: AASTY 15D SATAY +33 234
>Morris_Greenberg: DERSTTY 12H TRYSTED +83 235
>Christopher_Sykes: BEINOU N10 IN.UE +16 250
#note Chris started laying down BE(D)OUIN I think but said it didn't fit and then switched to this. If so, he missed BE(D)UIN.
>Morris_Greenberg: AILOOTU 3I OUTLAI. +18 253
#note Quackle also likes the higher point (Z)OO or LO(V)AT for 22 or 26, respectively. I thought going for the blank seemed like the easiest path forward, and with so many I's unseen, I liked playing one.
>Christopher_Sykes: AGIO C11 AGIO +23 273
>Morris_Greenberg: AEFIOOP 4D POOFIE +26 279
>Morris_Greenberg: AEFIOOP -- -26 253
#note Agh, I thought this was just added, POOFY is the word that was just added. Nice challenge by Chris. I also missed the beautiful tupik of (C)OA(L)IF(Y) here.
>Christopher_Sykes: BBI 14H BIB +20 293
>Morris_Greenberg: AEFIOOP L1 FI.O +22 275
#note I missed COALIFY again. I chose this over OOF because of the extra Is unseen and blocking easy XI plays for Chris.
>Christopher_Sykes: EIIORRV 4C IVORIER +74 367
>Morris_Greenberg: ?AEOPUX 3B OX +36 311
>Christopher_Sykes: AHIKQRR G3 Q. +21 388
>Morris_Greenberg: ?AEENPU A1 EUPNEAs +89 400
#note I considered A(IN) 13B here too. I (correctly) only saw PREmUNE as a bingo if I draw an R (which is the letter I have to maximize chances on given 3/8 remaining are Rs) so I realized that it wouldn't give me a bingo in 2 locations.
>Christopher_Sykes: AGHIKRR 1G KHARI. +48 436
#note Nice find by Chris, a new word to clinch it. I thought he was desperation phonying here.
>Morris_Greenberg: R - +0 400
#note I challenged.
>Christopher_Sykes: GR 13M R.G +12 448
>Christopher_Sykes: (R) +2 450
