1st numbers game alt:

(100 x 5) + ((7 + 4) x 3 x 3) = 599

R6 MOVIES for 6 also.

I smugly sipped some Ribena having spotted MOVIES in round 6 (hope all the letters were there for it now, seems they were - cheers John)

Cheers! In R9, is PLEONIC a word?? (7)
(Apparently a PLEON is the abdomen of a crustacean!)

R12 - TRIOLET for 7, equaller.

No, PLEONIC nor PLEON is in ODE2r. I had a DC equaller in round 3 with DOMINEER, round 6 with SAMFIE and then a DC beater in round 9 with OLEFINIC. A couple of nice DC equallers in round 12 I got were TRIOLET (already mentioned here) and LORILET.

I had a really good game again today then didn't get the conundrum - why is it every time you're on for a high percentage game the conundrum is really hard?

Thanks!

Can,t believe the !dog woman! lost on that final easy numbers game.She had never been behind untill
the penultimate round.
Alternate way to get it 75 divided by 25=3 100-7x3=289-6+2=281

With that solution you would score the same as Lynne Owens did in that round!

Ah yes, good spot!

Yeah, I thought I was doing OK today (although I missed KEROSINE and OLEFINIC - OLEFINIC is a brilliant spot, Kirk!) but afterwards I found out I'd also missed SANCOCHE in round 11 and TORTELLI in round 12, so it wasn't all that good, really. Mind you, I thought the conundrum was quite easy

I just thought I'd mention that Christine - who's lived all her life in France until now - got her first nine letter word in English today with SEPARATES. She has got the conundrum about 4 times mind you, including BLACKBIRD in the previous series.

Yeah, I had KEROSINE (in fact I was armchair fishing for it) but missed SANCOCHE and TORTELLI. Shocking!

Oops! I did it the easy way then I tried to be clever and find a trickier way to do it.
Must remember to double check next time.
