>Niel_Gan: AOORSTU 8D OUTSOAR +66 66
#note Not necessary to think about this for 1:30 lol
>Matthew_O'Connor: IR I7 R.I +5 5
>Niel_Gan: ADIIOOU 10I AUDIO +12 78
#note Also considered AIDOI/OIDIA, which look fine and more defensive than this AUDIO. Not sure why didn't think to play it at 10G.
>Matthew_O'Connor: AEIILNR F4 INER.IAL +62 67
>Niel_Gan: GHINOOP M9 H.OPING +34 112
#note Gotta look for HOOP/POOH 35 too, esp with a couple vowels to play through.
>Matthew_O'Connor: EEIIW 14J WIE.IE +34 101
>Niel_Gan: BFHNOST O11 OFT.N +36 148
>Matthew_O'Connor: BILOX 11C BOL.IX +30 131
>Niel_Gan: BEEEEHS 15G HEBE +32 180
#note 4 E draw :O
>Matthew_O'Connor: ATUV E2 VATU +20 151
>Niel_Gan: AEEENSV 12B VEE +20 200
#note Gotta look for at least VEENA 34 and other VEE, which I saw right after. One more point and stops some bings. A lovely K column play also available.
>Matthew_O'Connor: CEKPRSU 14A PUCKERS +89 240
>Niel_Gan: AELNOQS K13 Q.N +22 222
#note Best by ~7%, the 11 points more than Q(I) matter even though Q(I)N bingos a lot less on the next turn. AELOS prob ok right after oppo bing.
>Matthew_O'Connor: FRY 7B FRY +15 255
>Niel_Gan: AAEGLOS 2B AAS.OGEL +78 300
#note I didn't know I knew this word, I guess exporting all the words to text files learns you the first few.
>Matthew_O'Connor: DEZ 1H ZED +74 329
>Niel_Gan: ?ACJMNY 1A JAY +46 346
#note Spent too long deciding between JAM, JAY, and CYMA on this turn. This seemed best despite holding one more consonant because not playing the J almost automatically loses half a tempo on this board, and the score is close.
>Matthew_O'Connor: DEGRT 5C GR..TED +9 338
>Niel_Gan: ?CEMNNS 4H NEMNS +22 368
#note I somehow misjudged the number of vowels (and corresponding danger) in the pool at this point. NEMNS about 3% worse than MiNCES - allows about 3-4% more bings. Can't trust sim too far beyond that bc he blocks whenever he has no bingo after eg H4 M(E)N or 11J MEN(O). Endgame flexibility might also have outsized importance here.
>Matthew_O'Connor: ?ADIMTW L8 WA.D +20 358
>Niel_Gan: ?ACLOT N4 CiTOLA +15 383
#note Was relieved to get to play this after spending some of the wait time agonizing over whether I had a scoring out after [notable play available on previous turn].
>Niel_Gan: (IMT?) +10 393
