We need you on-call for the Scrabble streams!
I was thinking about that sneaky A4 spot, like “ahh maybe TORSADE or TARTARE or something would come down once in a blue moon”, didn’t expect SEVRUGA
A lot of those words would not have been possible with the pool at that point. It really was unlucky for Mack.
@@henryt9281 I’d bet on Mack finding it!
I sure didn't either!
7:45 You could get A(P)EX there as a really stylish play
HOLY SHIT I found a play that you didn't!
Amazing game. Apex was hard to see. I definitely didn’t see it.
LOVE THE VIDS
Thanks! :)
me like "Louvre*, which is obviously not a word"
I was wondering why QUO(IF) instead of the unexciting COQUI was never considered. It sprung to mind in an instant.
QUOIF is Collins-only I'm afraid
Exciting game
Thanks for watching!
Had some free time and thought this game was fascinating so I ran it through Quackle.
It can't make its mind up about SWOB vs INDOWS and pretty much switches between the two every time I re-run it. I think it's good for the bot to keep a more open board since it's even score and a tempo behind, things are quite open (really good floaters with TE of KILOBYTE, I of SHIPMENT, and the S of SLOTTED) so it makes sense to push for a bingo. Maybe the bots also do not like turnover very much here, since it's early but two S and one blank have already been burned. Really hard to assign a point value to all of these things, but I see the arguments for SWOB - I don't think either play is wrong
It likes AJI over COQUI like you pointed out in the postgame, and it absolutely approves of blocking the L on the LOUVRE turn by a landslide. Unlucky to get hit anyways, but very cool game
Thanks for doing that! Interesting regarding SWOB vs. INDOWS, makes sense about the increased bingo % with DIN as a leave vs. just B given the floaters
I was so sure u would play apex with za re and ax at 9:53
You disrespected the glasses. With the starting blank, you had the opportunity to have 4 I's but chose to ditch two of them.
Didnt expect you miss the easy APEX play
I guess it's not so easy for me... that's not the first time I've missed APEX either!
Exciting game nonetheless
Thanks!
I think maybe the bot didn’t like the possibility of opening a spot for something like SUNDOwN hooking wINDOWS?
There was no w left for windows tho, right?
That's probably a very marginal factor, the odds of me having the blank and having a bingo there that happens to make it a W are very slim (and the wINDOWS hook probably won't stay open that long as overlaps above the IN are pretty strong)
HI MACK❤
Hi!
Nah you got robbed
:(
