>Rafi_Stern: ?DEELNT 8F NEtTLED +68 68
#note Word Cup 2024, Round 15.
>Mike_Frentz: EIINQRV L4 VINE. +18 18
#note Quackle prefers to just dump QI on the left, but I stand by this play, threatening a Q setup (it's definitely an improvement over VIRID, which I saw and rejected).
>Rafi_Stern: OOX 9F OXO +38 106
>Mike_Frentz: DIIQRRU K5 QI +46 64
#note (Note that this draw after VIRID would have given me ENQUIRED. C'est le jeu.)
>Rafi_Stern: EJO J6 JO.E +53 159
>Mike_Frentz: DEIRRRU I4 URD +16 80
#note I need to preemptively open the board, as I can already see the closed shape developing. Quackle slightly prefers DURR or URD on row 10, but that's going to be easier to throw open later if I need it. This, I believe, can't be waited on.
>Rafi_Stern: ANOR 3F ROAN +12 171
>Mike_Frentz: EEIRRST 2A RETRIES +74 154
>Rafi_Stern: AAW 1A AWA +31 202
>Mike_Frentz: AAAHINZ 10D AAH +28 182
>Rafi_Stern: IL G6 IL.. +12 214
>Mike_Frentz: ADGINUZ 4A DAZING +42 224
#note I figured ILEX had to be an S setup, so I should take it out and score well.
>Rafi_Stern: IS 10J SI +18 232
>Mike_Frentz: ?AFLOUY 11C FAY +30 254
#note The sim prefers plays at 11K (FOU/FOY/FOUL), though that may be because the sim doesn't know that FAY takes an O front hook in this dictionary. (Most of the slurs removed in NWL a few years ago are playable in WOW.)
>Rafi_Stern: IORSTTW B6 TWISTOR +74 306
>Mike_Frentz: ?CLOOUY L10 COOLY +25 279
#note OILY 8A is probably worth it, though a play on row 12 could just kill off the entire board.
>Rafi_Stern: EFI M12 FIE +26 332
>Mike_Frentz: ?IORTUV 14J VO..UR +40 319
#note Again, it may make it too easy to close things off, but this is just too many points.
>Rafi_Stern: BEG O12 BE.G +30 362
>Mike_Frentz: ?IKLPTT 8A K.LT +27 346
#note Or KIP.
>Rafi_Stern: ACEEPS 13A ESCAPE +31 393
>Mike_Frentz: ?AGIPTU 4L .UG +7 353
#note Right idea, poor execution. This should be VIG. I think I was just hoping the H was in the bag. The line's probably getting blocked regardless, but VIG is harder to deal with (and likely gives up a lot less spread if I don't draw the H).
>Rafi_Stern: DEEHMM O4 HEMMED +69 462
>Mike_Frentz: ?AINPTU 5C ANUs +27 380
#note UNAPT N7 is best.
>Rafi_Stern: BN 4H B.N +15 477
