>Patrick_Beatrez: ABIOORU -ABIOOU +0 0
#note Playing URBIA for 16 keeping OO doesn't seem like the worst idea, but I would rather keep the R and try again with the tile bag. Other options include keeping AR or ABR. Sim likes ABR the best by about half a point over AR and URBIA, with just R about half a point behind those.
>Chris_Sitler: ?DEEGIN 8F hEEDING +70 70
#note Lots of bingos here, but DEEdING looks clearly best to not put any vowels next to bonus squares and to not give more floaters. An H isn't likely to be the tile I need to bingo, but he may as well not give the extra options.
>Patrick_Beatrez: DEEGIOR 9C GEOID +17 17
#note No T to bingo through, 7I EGO is best on static but I don't want to block the floaters now that I'm down. GEOID leaves a bit of a tricky scoring spot to hit.
>Chris_Sitler: KNY J8 .NKY +21 91
>Patrick_Beatrez: AEGPRRT 8A TRAP +37 54
#note GRAPE plays over HEEDING for 40 and is probably better, but this at least takes out the scoring spot and doesn't block the floaters.
>Chris_Sitler: EJT 10B JET +35 126
>Patrick_Beatrez: EEGINRY 10H RE.EYING +68 122
#note Only bingo.
>Chris_Sitler: EEMR O7 MER.E +24 150
>Patrick_Beatrez: IILNOOR 12L NOIR +20 142
#note 7G ROIL for 29 is much better, I hadn't thought of the LINKY hook yet at this point in the game. I had thought of DHKP, but missed the L and Z hooks.
>Chris_Sitler: II -II +0 150
>Patrick_Beatrez: ABILOQU 13J QUAI +32 174
#note Now ABOIL or BOIL play over HEEDING for 40/37 points. N6 QUA for 38 opens an A hook with a ton of As left but scores 6 more than QUAI.
>Chris_Sitler: ALV 14M LAV +15 165
>Patrick_Beatrez: BDELMOS 15H MODELS +34 208
#note DEMOBS is the key play here, the S isn't valuable enough to sacrifice to play H10 (R)EMOLD for 12 points less. DEMOBS scores 46 and is significantly better than anything else.
>Chris_Sitler: BCO N6 COB +21 186
>Patrick_Beatrez: ABHLOUV 14F VAU +18 226
#note 7H BAH for 32 or 9L UH for 25 score enough to keep the worse leaves. I liked that VAU blocked easy bingo lines while I have a bad leave and a small lead. I keep the H for HINKY and a B for 7G.
>Chris_Sitler: F G13 F. +9 195
>Patrick_Beatrez: BFHILOT 7H FOH +34 260
#note No floating S to bingo with, so an overlap play is going to be best. I hadn't thought of LINKY still, so I didn't see 7G FOIL which is probably best. FOH is the best play that doesn't use LINKY.
>Chris_Sitler: C I6 C.. +6 201
#note He didn't know CHINKY, he probably had a decent scoring play there. He had clearly been struggling with a blank and no good bingo lines for the last couple turns and had used almost all of his time already.
>Patrick_Beatrez: BHILTTX A6 BI.T +6 266
#note I would rather hold onto the X and try to get any of AEO to score at M9. Trading might be better than just playing off these tiles for 6 points, but I couldn't really score much without opening anything new. C7 B(AGE)L is 5 more points so it's probably better, but BITT gives me another shot at one of the 11 vowels that give me the X bomb.
>Chris_Sitler: ?ENRSTT 5C NeTTERS +69 270
>Chris_Sitler: ?ENRSTT -- -69 201
#note He dropped the C thinking that it took the S hook. SCOP and SCOT as well as SCAD and SCUD all are similar, so it makes sense to have confused them. He actually has an amazing bingo here with C1 iNTERST(AGE)!
>Patrick_Beatrez: HILOSTX 9L OX +41 307
>Chris_Sitler: ?ENRSTT B5 TE +10 211
>Patrick_Beatrez: AHIILST C3 HAIL +21 328
#note No spot for LITHIAS, I can play HAIL at 4A for 4 more points but it's easier for him to play bingos.
>Chris_Sitler: AW D3 AW +25 236
>Patrick_Beatrez: AINORST 2D RATIONS +67 395
>Chris_Sitler: L H1 L. +6 242
>Patrick_Beatrez: ADEOSWZ E4 AZO +30 425
#note Still knowing that he has NRST? here I didn't want to empty the bag and get stuck with a bunch of scoring tiles. AWED/WOAD/OWED all keep the Z which will hurt if he bingos out. AZO or ADZ are my Z plays, but keeping the D for DRAW makes the most sense.
>Chris_Sitler: ?AENRST 3G STAiNER +76 318
#note Only bingo.
>Patrick_Beatrez: DEIPSUW 1A SPUD +37 462
#note SPUD/SPED/PIED are best. He went overtime.
>Chris_Sitler: U K3 .U +2 320
>Chris_Sitler: (EIW) +12 332
