>Jonathan_Lindh: DEKMORT 8G TROKED +26 26
#note 2024 Word Cup. Round 25. Quackle actually likes this word as 8D by under a point over my play.
>Howard_Pistol: EFIN 9I FINE +31 31
>Jonathan_Lindh: DLMRTUY M9 DRUMLY +39 65
#note By far the best play.
>Howard_Pistol: AEINO 12J ANO.IE +18 49
>Jonathan_Lindh: AIMOPTU O7 UPTIM. +30 95
#note Quackle is quite the crafty cat for finding N11 MIAOU for 30. It largely neutralizes the triple word score line (-ISE bingos still play though), while keeping a better leave. UPTIME is very good though, around #2 or #3.
>Howard_Pistol: EIOOR 7C OORIE +10 59
>Jonathan_Lindh: AABLOSU E5 AU.A +8 103
#note Quackle likes 14K BAYOU for 20 best. Kinda risky after OORIE, but I do keep ALS. AURA setting up LAURA probably doesn't score enough.
>Howard_Pistol: AEJP F2 JAPE +31 90
>Jonathan_Lindh: BLLOSTX 8A BOX +45 148
#note My X spot and my LAURA spot both got blocked. BOX sims best by a tiny bit over LOX, but in this case, LOX would have worked out better.
>Howard_Pistol: AZ 11J ZA +37 127
>Jonathan_Lindh: AELLOST G1 TOLA +21 169
#note The engine likes N14 AL for 14 the best. Also, it likes LOTA over TOLA.
>Howard_Pistol: EIRW 1G .WIER +24 151
#note Howard initially played H1 EW for 34 and then switched it to this. To me, this signified he might have been keeping EFI. TWIER unduplicates his I's, and sets up a nice FE_ spot. I never did get around to asking him, though.
>Jonathan_Lindh: BCDEELS H1 .ELD +31 200
#note D1 CELEB for 29 is best by about a point over my play but things are very close.
>Howard_Pistol: EFIST 2J FEIST +47 198
>Jonathan_Lindh: ?ABCEIS 13D CArIBES +74 274
#note What a draw to bail out BCES! A8 BABIChES for 98 is the standout bingo. The rest of the bingos score in the 70's. I would probably find BABICHES as a natural but as a blank bingo with several easy to find bingos available in my 90th something tournament Scrabble game of the month? Nah.
>Howard_Pistol: OTU 1M OUT +13 211
>Jonathan_Lindh: ?EGLNSY C7 ..Y +17 291
#note I didn't see 6G LYSOGEN for 63, but 3C LEGALLY for 30 keeping NS? is better than bingoing so this isn't really a miss. OXY sometimes jumps ahead of bingoing as well. The pool is very ugly so I was hesistant to play off too many tiles.
>Howard_Pistol: NO N7 NO +8 219
>Jonathan_Lindh: ?AEGLNS A8 .EALiNGS +80 371
#note Best bingo. BEALINGS clinches it.
>Howard_Pistol: ACENRRS - +0 219
#note Unsuccessful challenge. Not actual rack.
>Jonathan_Lindh: DEGHNRR 6G HERD +18 389
#note E10 REHANG for 20 is another possibility. Many things are 100% to win. I'd figure I would block the easiest bingo line.
>Howard_Pistol: IN H13 .IN +15 234
>Jonathan_Lindh: CGNRTVV E12 V.V +9 398
#note A truly aweful rack. VAV seems fine.
>Howard_Pistol: AEGHISW 5J AWEIGH +29 263
#note G12 WIG for 10 is best to Q stick me.
>Jonathan_Lindh: CGNQRT M4 Q. +11 409
#note Best.
>Howard_Pistol: S M4 ..S +12 275
#note Best.
>Howard_Pistol: (CGNRT) +16 291
#note Final score recorded as 409-287 because we undercounted FEIST by 4 points.
