hook1. If you're fishing off two tiles to get a bingo-prone rack, and the board is closed, put them somewhere that opens it up. (even if it's a few less points)
2. DULA* is not an alternate spelling of DOULA. (didn't challenge it, but mainly because it took the TWS for a low score, and I couldn't put anything there anyways.)
3. KAFTANS is good. (spotted on another board.)
4. AMI-, CAS-, EDU-, EVO-, PEC- and PLA- are all ways to extend an opening move of CABLE.
5. ALCADES is good. (anagram is eSCALADE; it's an alternate spelling of ALCALDES. Interestingly, I knew ALCAIDE, which is a slightly different word, and convinced myself I was imagining it without the I.)
6. RELAYERS* is not good!!!! Best phony I've seen in a while.
7. EDGIER takes front hooks H, L, S, W. (couldn't remember them from a month ago, when someone played EDGY on me.)
