Pretty sure it's 2/6. I missed BROADACRE, INNERVATE, RHODONITE and some stupid new addition I'd never heard of that Lee spotted.

Nice letters selections so far, and even better spots from the pair of them.

Jolly good so far - I had TARIQA and TOTARA in R2 to beat DC but not the players.

WORDIEST for an alt I got on the show in the ASTEROID/ROWDIEST tround.

Cheered when 3L was selected and did a little dance when I beat the players.

I think there is an obscure beater in the AMPUTEE/PLUMATE round?

MALEMUTE was there.

Well done both of you, that was a great way to kick the finals off!

Great game chaps. I've never seen fennel on a menu in a restaurant though.

There was also PLUMMET as a more standard-method 7.
