>Morris_Greenberg: AOUUVYY I11 YOU +17 40
#note I missed UVU(LA), though I do like keeping the spot open for _AV words. This sims pretty similar to exchanging all 7 and exchange 6 keepping the Y, both of which I considered.
>Jared_Cappel: AZ K11 ZA +55 166
>Morris_Greenberg: ABHUUVY H13 HUB +30 70
#note BUY might be better here for having the Y as the bingo lane here.
>Jared_Cappel: OPW 9C POW +22 188
>Morris_Greenberg: ?AFIUVY F6 V.. +21 91
#note This is the top simming play, it seemed a tad weird, but in reality, I am down a lot and slowing down the game seems useful if I want to come back.
>Jared_Cappel: EFI 10B FIE +24 212
>Morris_Greenberg: ?AFITUY 9I F.UTY +19 110
#note Oh geez, I missed (B)eAUTIFY, I was not thinking of the blank as a vowel here. I didn't love blocking the (IN) here as that is a sneaky good lane, but figured I can instead use that area to reshape the top of the board. I thought (F)IFTY was counter-productive for long-term bingoing potential, but Quackle likes it more than F(L)UTY too.
>Jared_Cappel: EEINNRS 15H .EN +5 217
>Morris_Greenberg: ?AGIJST 8M AJI +35 145
#note After (B)EN, I start to think (YOU)S(E) and -O(U)S words might be the best path to victory long-term, as long as in the interim, I narrow the game to within 1 bingo.
>Jared_Cappel: AR N6 RA. +12 229
>Morris_Greenberg: ?GGRSTT 7M G.T +17 162
#note On the new theme of the game, I figure it is important for me to use this spot before Jared, saving the possibility of (HUN)GER next turn if I draw an E.

>Jared_Cappel: AK G11 KA +16 284
>Morris_Greenberg: ?AEOOST I6 O. +2 234
#note I first laid down OE/O(KA) 10G, but thought that would usually cause Jared to block the U in HUB. I would've loved to play off a second vowel here, as LACTEO(U)S is the only word I am hitting here, but figured it was more imperitive to keep bingo lanes alive at the cost of immediate bingoing chances in the unlikely case where Jared doesn't block.
>Jared_Cappel: AINR 5I RAIN +11 295
>Morris_Greenberg: ?AEOQST 4K QAT +39 273
#note Wow, Quackle has me as above 50% to win after this play.
>Jared_Cappel: AGIN 3L GAIN +18 313
>Morris_Greenberg: ?EEEORS O1 ER.E +15 288
#note I think Quackle is misevaluating the position, slightly prefering RE(N)O in the same spot or OSE 10L, which feel impractical to me given how Jared is playing. If you assume Jared makes a D(RAIN) play to open the board, those it bingos a bit more often, but I can't see Jared playing that way, and this preserves the O(U)S possibilities.

#note No wins per Quackle, (F)LOuT loses by 1. We were playing a 20 minute game here, and I decided to go over to look for bingos through the (IT) and O(U)S bingos, to no avail. I went 3 minutes over in the end as a result.
