I really like Elise's HUB L12; it's an aggressive move that, nine times out of ten, would pay off handsomely. Quackle was lucky to draw the third S and take the scoring opportunity for itself. The alternative here would be something like HUSH L12, which scores well but almost certainly gives the opponent an easy triple word play on the next turn. Although dozens of bingoes were available at move 7, OUTCRYING 8G is a 45-point play that leaves EES? -- a real no-brainer. PROFs 1A kills any attempt by Quackle to use the A1 triple word score (F hooks on E1), and scores solidly, putting the game further out of reach. Using the blank does reduce flexibility in the endgame, but Elise's lead is enough that it's reasonably sure that it can win. |
