>Laurie_Cohen: AGH 8G HAG +14 14
#note Word Cup 2024, Round 16.
>Mike_Frentz: ADEELOU 9G ALOE +18 18
#note Sim slightly prefers ALOUD (or DOULA 7E), but I don't mind this, even though it didn't work out:
>Laurie_Cohen: ?ADNSTY K5 DYNASTy +95 109
>Mike_Frentz: DDEESTU 10D DUDE +16 34
#note I wanted more stuff open, but there's probably no reason not to take two extra points.
>Laurie_Cohen: EIISTVX 6H TIV. +18 127
>Mike_Frentz: EEIORST L4 OE +7 41
#note Take your pick of places for this one.
>Laurie_Cohen: ELMW M3 MEWL +27 154
>Mike_Frentz: EIRSSTY 8K .RTSY +27 68
#note Quackle wants to fish stronger (just throw the Y somewhere) or blow up the rack with YESSIR N2 for 41 (which I didn't spot). Usually trying to middle-distance those two extremes is folly, but the sim doesn't hate it. Neither do I.
>Laurie_Cohen: IQ 9C QI +24 178
>Mike_Frentz: EEHIIIS -EIII +0 68
#note Never mind, I hate it.
>Laurie_Cohen: BERW 7D BREW +27 205
#note I realize now where I've seen WHAE* before: in a Collins game! At least I have a decent reason for leaving this on:
>Mike_Frentz: EEEEHST 6E EH +28 96
#note There's an argument for TEETHE M8.
>Laurie_Cohen: MNU D4 NUM. +24 229
>Mike_Frentz: EEESSTV L11 EVE +13 109
#note Quackle wants EVES N1, which...would have gone poorly.
>Laurie_Cohen: AEINRRT 13F RETAIN.R +70 299
>Mike_Frentz: ADEGSST N11 GAST +19 128
#note Take your pick. Nothing is over 0.5% to win (and there's still half the game to go!).
>Laurie_Cohen: AOP H12 A.OP +21 320
>Mike_Frentz: ABDEIOS C2 OBA +12 140
>Laurie_Cohen: J 2B J. +18 338
>Mike_Frentz: ADEFISX O10 FIX +41 181
#note Finally, a way to actually SCORE SOME POINTS.
>Laurie_Cohen: OOZ 12D ZOO +26 364
>Mike_Frentz: ADEFIST 4B F..TASIED +64 245
#note I had no idea if this was good, but I was hoping for a challenge regardless. Laurie did not oblige, of course.
>Laurie_Cohen: KLNU 15H .LUNK +16 380
>Mike_Frentz: ?CEIINU B4 .UCI +15 260
>Laurie_Cohen: IILOPRR A7 OR +8 388
>Mike_Frentz: ?EIINOP 1C sINOPIE +82 342
>Laurie_Cohen: ACGILNR 14A CARING +34 422
#note CARINGLY would've been pretty.
>Mike_Frentz: E C13 E. +4 346
#note Nowhere near as close as the scoreboard would indicate.
>Mike_Frentz: (L) +2 348
