On Friday (if you have just travelled back in time to just after this was broadcast) Jean beat 6-time winner David Poulter with a score of 32-69. This is her second game and it looks promising...
Round 1: R L W R E A I H L
C1: WHALER (6)
C2: rallier
DC: WHALER (6)
OT: RALLIER (7) WHIRLER (7)
Score: 6–0 (max 7)
RALLIER may be in now, but not back then so Jean takes points straightaway.
Round 2: X S R A E I S Z H
C1: SHARES (6)
C2: RAISES (6)
DC: HAZIER (6) ASSIZE (6)
OT: ARISES (6) ASHIER (6) RASHES (6) SERAIS (6) SHEARS (6) SHIRES (6) SIXERS (6) SIZARS (6) SIZERS (6)

Anyone want a pancake?
Round 3: N C S M O U I E Q
C1: MUSIC (5)
C2: QUOINS (6)
DC: QUINCES (7) CONSUME (7)
OT: CINQUES (7) INCOMES (7) MESONIC (7) UNICOMS (7)
Score: 12–12 (max 20)
But then Ken equali(s/z)es with a 6, though there were quite a few 7s.
Round 4: 25, 1, 10, 4, 4, 2. Target: 200.
C1: 200. (10-2)*25 (10)
C2: 200. ((4*4)/2)*25 (10)
Score: 22–22 (max 30)
Easy.
Round 5: L G D O A O R Y V
C1: GuARD
C2: GLORY (5)
DC: GOODLY (6)
OT: DAYGLO (6) GROOVY (6)
Score: 22–27 (max 36)
Ken takes the lead as Jean mistakes the V for a U.
Round 6: E I O D B C F E T
C1: DEBIT (5)
C2: FOETID (6)
DC: DEFECT (6)
OT: BETIDE (6) BODICE (6) COIFED (6) DECEIT (6) TIEFED (6)
Score: 22–33 (max 42)
And Ken strikes again! Can he win this?
Round 7: V C P A E O T N A
C1: OCTAVE (6)
C2: PAVE (4)
DC: VACANT (6) VACATE (6)
OT: CENTAVO (7) PATONCE (7)
Score: 28–33 (max 49)
Jean strikes back with a 6. One thing is for sure – this is gonna be close.
Round 8: 50, 1, 4, 6, 10, 10. Target: 873.
C1: 864. ((10+6+1)*50)+(10+4) (5)
C2: -
CV: 873. ((50+4)*(10+6))+(10-1) (10)
Score: 33–33 (max 59)
And a tricky numbers puts the scores equal in time for a Very Crucial Conundrum…
Round 9: A A C H I M N O R *
C1 says ‘HARMONICA’ on 3 seconds but does not buzz.
Then C1 buzzes on 5 seconds to say HARMONICA which is correct.
Score: 43–33 (max 69)
Despite forgetting to buzz, she still gets this one and wins the game. Imagine how different it would have been if she wasn’t allowed to buzz because she spoke first…
