We have another new champion, Simon Whiteley, apparently who is some distant relative of the late Richard. Can he get a second win and make a last minute push to surpass Gemma or Zarte?

Join Anthony for the recap later.

DEPURATES is one 9 in R5 as a beater and there is another too!

This may sound harsh but I always think it's strange when people always go for stuff like 3 large when they're not very good at it. Or even if it's just the pressure of the studio, accept that and pick something easier.

They have been quite hard 3Large ones as I only got 1 away on that one - though it is possible.

WORNER as a beater in round whatever. It's not on Apterous but it's an adjective isn't it?

I was 1 away too. He also only just got the 324 which was the same as the relatively straightforward 327 he missed.

Ran's "monger" is not valid (only in compounds such as costermonger), but there are alt 7s to MOONRAT such
as MONTAGE and an 8 in ANTEROOM.

Depends if you think it is one syllable or two...

WORNEST was allowed earlier in the series so WORNER should be fine too, even though it does sound odd.

Some surprising misses by the corner today, including DEPASTURE as the alternative nine in round 5.

WORN is one syllable unless you're an alien.

PITHOI in R1, ERMINE/NERINE in R2, DEPURATES/DEPASTURE in R5, and ANTEROOM in R12. Good day on my front

Interesting to see the standards of non-apto challengers beginning to raise again.

Was that the 100-4 x 9? Took a while to make the 4, which I ended up doing slightly differently to Rachel, so I was proud of that. Sorry I'm a day behind this week, so not cheating

Yeah it was that one.
