Comments from Bob:

  • My first bingo was TRIBUTE, which I extended to CONTRIBUTE on my second move, and John extended to CONTRIBUTED on his second move
  • My third move was WHORIEsT*, but then then John played KOIS*, enabling me to correct my error and play my second bingo WORTHIEr, which I later extended to UNWORTHIEr
  • My third bingo was GOLLOPED, on move 5
  • My fourth bingo was SYRINGE on move 8 (which I later extended to SYRINGED), and then FOrElAIN on move 9 (using my second blank)
  • My sixth bingo was LEGATION on move 11, which John later extended to LEGATIONS
  • John did draw 3 esses and the Q, but he missed three turns due to incorrect plays

Another scoring error was found after the game - Bob underscored a move by 2 points, so could have claimed a score of 691 for the game.
