That is pretty damn impressive john . You missed out on 2 points only. What were the ones you missed?johnbrackstone wrote:also organdies in round 1. (i amassed my best ever score today - 148)

Re: Spoilers for Friday 25th July 2008
I thought the max would be 149 not 150 so I reckon John missed PEDICEL only. I missed MOTTLED and PEDICEL so if I was playing the challenger, I had 147 points. If I was in the challengers chair I'd have 141 points. Either way, both records. What a game. Surprised Carol missed the easy numbers of (100+8)x(2+4) -(8-3)

Re: Spoilers for Friday 25th July 2008
Amazing scoring, John. (edit) and Kirk
And a good couple of performances from the current champion. She's even jumped passed one other player on the leaderboard having played one game less.

Re: Spoilers for Friday 25th July 2008
Noooooooooooo - I have MATELOT and MATELOTE in my words I try not to miss! I got MATELOT in practice the other day and missed MATELOTE again. Surprise surprise - watching the show today, I missed MATELOTE. When will I learn?jasoncullen wrote:MATELOTE may have also been missed in round 12Kirk Bevins wrote:I thought the max would be 149 not 150 so I reckon John missed PEDICEL only.

Re: Spoilers for Friday 25th July 2008
I got reseating but wondered about gratinees?
I also got my best ever score today although not quite in the 140's. Could have done with these letter selections in my last game...

So did John Davies in his game vs. Paul Gallen...Lee Simmonds wrote:I got reseating but wondered about gratinees?
Edit because that's a bit unhelpful: Lee, 'gratinees' is no good - in his game vs. Paul Gallen in the quarter-finals of the last CofC, John Davies saw both RESEATING and GRATINEES^ in the first round, and wondered which one to go for - sadly he chose the wrong one

Re: Spoilers for Friday 25th July 2008
Interestingly, I spotted GRATINEES^ first and that's what led me to the double 9 RESEATING/STINGAREE. You just have to learn these pitfalls and learn to connect them with real words.

I believe ORGANDIES is another anagram of ORGANISED/GRANDIOSE, but that's pointless knowledge

Re: Spoilers for Friday 25th July 2008
It's already been mentioned above, Joe. You are correct that ORGANDIES is an anagram and it's NOT pointless knowledge as people now know the 8 - ORGANDIE.Joe Denniss wrote:I believe ORGANDIES is another anagram of ORGANISED/GRANDIOSE, but that's pointless knowledge
