Spoilers for Tuesday, 6th May

[Joseph Bolas]

Could today offer another plethora of DC beaters . Time will tell .

[Joseph Bolas]

RETSINAS as an equaller.

[Joseph Bolas]

PRIMATE for another equaller.

[Matt Coates]

did the champion win today?, i missed the episode

[Kirk Bevins]

RETSINA is a mass noun (albeit a drink) and so plural may be dodgy. ARTINESS or STAINERS are safer.

Round 2: ATRIUM, RADIUM - equallers
Round 6: SAUTOIR (DC beater!)
Round 8: SARCOID (DC equaller)
Round 11: HAIRNETS, TRENAILS.... etc. Can't be bothered.
Round 12: PLASMA (equaller)

Just out of interest (the letters weren't there in round 12 but nearly), would PLEROMAS be valid? PLEROMA is there as a noun [in sing] but it's not a mass noun and just says "[in sing]". What is the rule regarding this?

Also, yes, the champion did win today.

Gougere is Round 4? I'm afraid I still don't have access to my dictionary to check. If I've spelt it correctly, it's a sort of casserole topped with a ring of choux pastry.

Yeah I missed today's - who won?

Gougere* in Round 4? I'm afraid I still don't have access to my dictionary to check. If I've spelt it correctly, it's a sort of casserole topped with a ring of choux pastry.

Countmax doesn't give GOUGERE* although the Scrabble dictionary does.
