I was just wondering if anyone had offered a complicated solution for an easy numbers round as a joke and then gone and got it wrong?

Just looked at the wiki - Alan seems to own it!

So what is the lowest winning score in a QF, SF or Final?

Has 3 ever been the max available?

Zarte's awesome obviously, but has anyone else ever scored with a three letter word declaration? If so, I suspect it wouldn't be someone with a near-perfect record of century game scores!

Has any numbers game been solvable by just adding up all six numbers?

Thanks, Johnny.

I dare say a few of you will know this, but what has been the highest number of nine letter words available ( not necessarily spotted) in the nine and fifteen round shows? Also who are the highest scoring losers in both the nine and fifteen round shows and what did they score?

Well after today's performance, I'd have to back Andrew MacLeod to win. The field isn't that strong. They probably play better than I would (I don't want to be on TV), but they don't compare to Tournoff/Gallen and their ilk.

Also, I'd be interested to know how many times the conundrum scramble has been a valid word (eg VALIDATES (SALIVATED) recently).

Graeme doesn't seem to be answering questions on the forum anymore, but I'd be interested to know what the record is for the number of times a player has failed to score because their word isn't valid or they've got the numbers round wrong. Yesterday's show was a bit cringeworthy...

Hi Graeme,

How many times has the conundrum scramble been a valid word (eg. VALIDATES (SALIVATED) on 26/10/16)?

Thanks for the reply, Thomas. I note that Michael Smith got the conundrum though which makes Ross Lough more unique (if you can be more unique...)
Sorry about the triplicate posting; I very rarely post and had forgotten the procedure.

Hi Graeme,

I'm interested to know if episode 6234 is the first time in the 15 round format, that a contestant (Ross Lough) has failed to score in any of the letters rounds.

Thanks,

Peter

On 10 July, the same numbers game target (831) came up twice in a row. Has this ever happened before?

Sorry, I don't Know how to post screenshots, but in a game against Christopher Smith just now; from a selection of SNATRNUEI, Jean-Luc Picard informed us that he was travelling at Warp Factor 9 and found SATURNINE!

Couldn't find the Screen Print button at the time, but this round 12 was rather amusing.
TITABUSEY BUTTIES 45 - 59 ABUSE BATISTE, BATTIES, BATTUES etc. 86

In my game of Goatdown against Ian Dent (6/5 2316) in Round 5, the selection was SXFLIEOSL. DC found SEXFOILS and then suggested picking a B - also for SEXFOILS. I'm guessing this is because there are no other 8s possible - or is there a bug?
