he blocked LEANERS. i'm not unhappy with this play. sometimes i just like going for it. he seemed unlikely to have the last E and actually was probably very consonant heavy (bag only has 4 vowels in it). the best simming play is 5I E(ATE)N though, which also looks pretty good. perhaps this is the play and i just got too greedy. -5.5 #findingmedium
i suppose i should play a proper endgame here. this is how to get spread. i knew with near absolute certainty DOWNSME(N) was phony and didn't bother looking for a bingo from it (pretty sure i'd find ordinals if needed). i have to block ENOW with 12C DE, and then draw an F or a G, which i know are in the bag. G bingoes in both lanes, and F bingoes up top with SAFRANIN. i also have tRI(JUGATE), in case i draw the F and he blocks the top lane. I was going to try it if i needed it, but wasn't sure of it. in any case, this results in a very large spread error, even though the game is 100% won. -85 #strategylarge #endgamelarge

think I blew the game here. Didn't see O(G)EE which is awesome. I also thought ABE(L)E was phony. both of those plays are way better than COBIA. I'm still in a good position after COBIA but it lets me draw into shit and be outrun, or be unable to deal with his openings. Terrible. #visionmedium
SCEND looks a little better now after FAH, my DS leave after CRANED isn't that good to play down from H1 and there are no good S hooks left. #strategysmall
Quackle picks the standard G8 JOHN, but I prefer SHY because JOHN opens high-scoring bingo lanes on rows 11 and 12 and sacrifices 4 points. But I didn't know TREADLES takes an S, and thus there was already a bingo lane on row 10. This may be a #tacticssmall
I don't know why I played this over J11 TENIA--maybe to keep the A for G9? Quackle prefers short plays like 4N DA, 14H AIT, and O10 AIT, but it doesn't realize that Mike has just fished. I like J11 TENIA best. #tacticssmall
Plays on column B making EWE block all of Mike's bingos, and they even preserve column E for me to use next turn. Quackle chooses B4 POPE, followed by B6 PE; although I might have chosen PE just so Mike doesn't know my rack. E5 PIE allows AILMENT, ALIMENT, ALUMINA, AMENTIA, and VALIANT at B1. #tacticslarge
i thought this was ok since his next rack is random/bad, but GIROS keeps a significantly improved leave, and also gives back a whole lot less. oops. -5 #strategymedium
the Lewises say hi. Hi Lewises! wasn't sure enough of webless or aweless for that matter, although i liked the second more. but i should find tWELvES. bingos with two blanks are hard. #knowledgelarge -9
