#note National Scrabble Day, 4/13/2025, Game 1. This play is best.
>Clay_Daniel: FRRU 5E FUR.R +16 16
>Dustin_Dean: EENPQSU 6B QUEEN +45 79
#note Best, but QUEEN for the same score at J2 is very close, setting up the S. I wasn't sure if FURORES was sticky, like ARBORES, CONDORES, LARES, LEMURES, SENORES/SENHORES, and VIATORES.

#note After 100,000 iterations, (EM)BOLIC for 32 is a hairsbreadth ahead of C(UM)BIA for 34, which is slightly ahead of (UM)BO for 24, keeping ACILN.

#note Best is PIU for 17 at C11. UNDRIVEN# is Collins-only.
>Clay_Daniel: EOT L12 TO.E +16 353
>Dustin_Dean: DEINPRU 6J DUP +22 299
#note Best is PUDI(C) for 20 at D11, with a win % less than 8.
>Clay_Daniel: AE 5L AE +13 366
>Dustin_Dean: DEINOOR 13I DO +15 314
#note Some of Champ's choices here are: 4A ODOR for 21; 2C ONO for 12; 4B ION for 15; 2D NOO for 17; and 4C OD for 17. There's also F1 OI(K) for 9, opening another lane upstairs, while keeping ON for possible -(TI)ON nines: RENDI(TI)ON, REEDI(T)ION, DESER(TI)ON, and DETRI(TI)ON. After DO, there are a fair number of draws that bingo on row 12 including: AILERON/ALIENOR, ERASION/EROSION, DINEROS, TERNION, RETINOL, and INFERNO. Assuming row 12 is blocked but not row 10, I have two ways to hit the Y: drawing FT for RENOTIF(Y) or ST for SEROTIN(Y), which also forms (PA)TRONISE. If I can't hit these, I can try to open row 1.
>Clay_Daniel: EL J12 L..E +7 373
>Dustin_Dean: EFINORT 10F RENOTIF. +68 382
#note best, only bingo
>Clay_Daniel: EEIINOS 4C EN +13 386
#note Assuming optimal play going forward, OE for 9 at 2B is the only play that does not lose, with two spots to go out with NISEI next turn. If I make my best play at D9--DOAT, DATO, or DATA--for 14, it's a tie, after he goes out with NISEI at D9 for 13. If I try to block NISEI at D9 with my best option to do that, DOAT at 1C for 13, I lose by 2.
>Dustin_Dean: AADOT 2A TOAD +20 402
#note Best is (FE)AT for 15, after which his best plays with EIIOS are (PA)ISE for 14, keeping IO, or (PA)SEO for 14, keeping II. After (PA)SEO, I should play (T)A at 14A for 8, since he cannot go out with II; his best option is 4 with (G)I or (B)I, after which I have 12C OD for 14, resulting in 421-404 final score. After (PA)ISE, I should immediately go out with 2C ODA or ADO for 16, resulting in a final score of 417-400.
>Clay_Daniel: EIIOS 1A IS +14 400
>Dustin_Dean: A 14A .A +8 410
#note best
>Dustin_Dean: (EIO) +6 416
#note MM scored as 22. -10 time penalty for Clay. Players agreed to 418-390.
