>Dave: EEEFFRU 8G FEU +12 12
#note I thought it was a close call between this and RUFFE
>K8: MV I7 V.M +15 15
>Dave: BEEEFPR 9F BER.E +18 30
>K8: DW J8 D.W +23 38
>Dave: CEFMOPZ 10E COZ +37 67
#note After starting out 4-2, I had just lost four games straight and was getting frustrated, which led to me rushing here. I considered both FEZ and COZ in this spot and opted for the defensive value of this play. Almost immediately afterwards, I realized I had missed the higher scoring spot for this word.
>K8: ??IINTW K2 NItWITs +74 112
>Dave: BDEFHMP E10 .HEF +24 91
#note BEDEW is very cute, but I don't love it.
>K8: CELOORY 12E .YECOLOR +82 194
#note Kate laid down this word, thought for a while, took it back, thought for some more, then decided to play it anyway. I challenged instantly. On the way to the computer, I said, "if that's a word, I'm quitting Scrabble."
>K8: CELOORY -- -82 112
>Dave: ABDMPTU 12A BUMP.D +32 123
>K8: CELOORY 11H COYER +31 143

>Dave: AALOPRU 2F APOLU.AR +64 270
#note There was no need for this, but I thought I could sneak it by her. She didn't say hold and wrote down the score while I went for the tile bag. I already had the tiles in my hand and was about to draw them out of the bag when she said, "hold."
>Dave: AALOPRU -- -64 206
>K8: GHINSTU 4G SHUT.ING +80 245
>Dave: AALOPRU H1 OUP. +27 233
#note PRAHU is a better version of this play. ATOP is pretty good too.

#note Missing my bingo.
>K8: DER 12K RED +14 364
>Dave: EEILNRT N4 .REENLIT +63 408
#note As I played this, I thought, "Whew! the losing streak is finally over."
>K8: EORSSTY 13I OYSTERS +84 448
#note I said aloud, "you've gotta be f***ing kidding me."
>K8: (AAEIK) +18 466
#note Hats off to Kate. She played a good game when she wasn't phoneying. Most of the time I don't mind losing this way, but it sure stung going from 4-2 to 4-7.
