>Jill_Turney: ADELMR 8D MEDLAR +24 24
#note 2024 Word Cup, Round 2.
>Mike_Frentz: ACEIIIT D8 .ETICAI +22 22
#note Does everything I want: scores decently, clears the multiple Is, heeps the board open. One slight problem: IT"S NOT A WORD. (METICA, METICAL, METICALS, METICAS, METICAIS.) Fortunately, opponent was too trusting.
>Jill_Turney: GHOS 15A HOGS +40 64
>Mike_Frentz: AIJMOPY 13A PYJ.MA +40 62
>Jill_Turney: DW 9C W.D +14 78
>Mike_Frentz: EEEIORU I6 OU.IE +7 69
#note Could also trade, but I've been a little trigger-happy on trades in the past, so I was focusing on playing through if it seemed reasonable.
>Jill_Turney: ACERRT H10 TRACER +29 107
>Mike_Frentz: ?AEEINQ F5 QAI. +16 85
#note Or QI J5, but I like the defense of this better.
>Jill_Turney: AEGNORT B4 NEGATOR +72 179
>Mike_Frentz: ?DEELNO 15H .ONDELlE +77 162

>Mike_Frentz: EILPTTU C3 TULIP +44 268
#note Nearly missed this. Feels like I would have done so a year or two ago.
>Jill_Turney: DIU G3 DUI +17 306
>Mike_Frentz: BERSTVX K3 VEX +49 317
>Jill_Turney: AN 13M AN +18 324
>Mike_Frentz: BORSSTU L4 ROBUST +40 357
#note For some reason, I would have shied away from this play in the past. I'm not entirely sure what changed, but this is clearly right; take a 33-point league and hold the S to counter any potential setups. I guess I trust myself to win those situations now?
>Jill_Turney: EINSV D1 VEINS +35 359
>Mike_Frentz: EHINOOS 1A SHO.E +33 390
#note OVINE 1C to set up SHO/OVINES is a point better, but that's tricky to spot.
>Jill_Turney: AABERW J10 WA. +29 388
>Mike_Frentz: INO 14J ION +14 404
#note Ooh, it plays at 14M instead. (Didn't spot KAIL.)
>Mike_Frentz: (ABER) +12 416
