>Hercules: DEIIMOZ - +0 0
#note I'm first in the pairings but Woogles put John first.
>skaplan31: AHMOTXY 8H MOTHY +34 34
#note Not only does Quackle love this play, I love this play to set up my X in a not so obvious manner.
>Hercules: DEIIMOZ J8 .IZ +32 32
#note This, ZITI, or ZIT are all close.
>skaplan31: AAAFIRX 9H IX.A +45 79
#note Best by far!
>Hercules: DEIMORT 10H DO.ER +37 69
#note Well would you look at this almost 5x3 grid so far! This is John's best scoring play.
>skaplan31: AAEFNRT 7G FA +16 95
#note I chose FA over L4 FAERY as I can set up my E nicely and keep a better overall leave. I know John's defensive game well enough that I would need to make plays that would create opportunities for the board to open up.
>Hercules: CEIIMOT L3 COMIT. +26 95
#note I think this play is fine, 11K ME is only 2 more but CIIOT isn't exactly ideal on this board. K8 HAEMIC is fine too as he does have more than 1 consonant to use later on as well as Row 6 plays for bingoes, but EIOT is risky in its own right. He does keep his E for the AMIDE hook with COMITY.
>skaplan31: ABENRTT 4F BETATR.N +61 156
#note Well thank you for giving me a floater I needed to bingo though. I also could have used an E for BATTENER.
>Hercules: BDEEITU H1 BUT.E +21 116
>skaplan31: ?AGNRSU 11B kURGANS +72 228
#note This or lANGURS over oURANGS to not allow big B10 plays. I gave him a harder letter to bingo through with this over lANGURS. I also saw 1D oSNA(B)URG which is fancy but not correct.
>Hercules: ACDEIII D11 .ADII +14 130
#note John did have D10 IRIDIC for 24 here.
>skaplan31: EEEKLPU 15A KEP. +30 258
>Hercules: CEINOOW 14A OW +26 156
#note His best play
>skaplan31: AEEELLU 5K E.EU +18 276
#note Can't score much here. This is best.
>Hercules: CEEINNO 11K NEON +24 180
>skaplan31: AAEILLN 3L .AL +16 292
#note Again not much to score here so let's keep a nice leave.
>Hercules: ?CEIPSV O7 VICES +35 215
#note No bingoes play here. I think O11 SPICE for 41 is better here given his deficit.
>skaplan31: AEIILNS L10 ..I +6 298
#note Maybe 13B AID for 8 more, although I will bingo very often after this.
>Hercules: ?IJPRST F10 J.R +26 241
#note This is best for him.
>skaplan31: AEILLNS 13I AINSELL +70 368
#note Well then, only bingo that plays!
>Hercules: ?GILPST 5E PIL. +18 259
#note O1 GILTS does score 34 but the S is valuable for him here.
>skaplan31: AAEERRU 9C AURA +16 384
#note Maybe UREA in the same spot?
>Hercules: ?DDGNST J12 D.G +9 268
#note I figured he might have the S after he did PILE, but now I know he's got the S. I still have a nice lead over him so it's all good.
>skaplan31: EEEHOQR 2G Q.EER +16 400
#note Maybe ROQUE to take out the SPILE hook is better. Not a huge mistake here since the pool is yucky and not many bingoes exist from my perspective.
>Hercules: ?DGNSTY A13 Y.. +10 278
>skaplan31: EFHOOOW O1 WOOF +48 448
#note Easy enough here
>Hercules: ?DGNSTV D1 VaNGS +31 309
#note This or VeDNS in this spot are fine.
>skaplan31: EHO 3B HO.E +14 462
#note Best out play.
Game 5 was pretty much the polar opposite from last game. Board vision was much better here in general.
