Following James Hogan's capture of the champion's chair, we may be looking at a very Apterite-heavy week as he takes on our own Conrad Teixeira today. Which of them will be saying "wd" after the show, and which "ul"?

Join me later today for TWO forumcaps, the other one of course being last week's.

Does anyone ever listen to what Dictionary Corner say? The contestants didn't, as PELAGE was there in round 5
after it was given as an alt in round 4.

Another alt in R13 for all the RETAINS+ fans is ARTESIAN (amongst many other 8s).

Alt last numbers (75/3)x(5x5)-9 for fans of 25 squared.

Have they whitened the sides of the letters tiles?

Props to the conundrum scramble for mentioning not one but two members of Queen.

Anagram of ANTISERA.

I definitely wasn't listening to what DC was saying, I was really too nervous! I was so out of it I even tried to pick 7 consonants. Even though I was 30-40 points ahead and should have been going 5c/4v to try to maximise my score.

As for PELAGO (X), no idea what I was thinking. I was hoping a U would come up for PLAGUE, I think.

(This is Conrad by the way, I tried loads of times to sign up under my real name but it wouldn't let me for some reason.)

I think there were new tiles. They kept falling off when Rach put them up so they had to stop the show loads of times that afternoon.

I got AGAINSTER in round 13 as a direct result of learning the stems of ANGRIEST, as recommended to me on here by Jen Steadman. Thanks, Jen.

Sorry, I have to redact my previous statement because I was tied up with homework and tourney games yesterday. The recaps are coming, trust me.
