Nice.
DENTALIA seems to be a good word to learn as it has pretty common letters and stems to a 9-letter word with 4 different letters (in this case C but also E, M & S).
I'm just glad I managed to nip a round off Tom at last with HOARILY.

It was nice to meet Andy and his wife, and hear his stories about his previous appearances. Think he was frustrated with how he fared at the numbers rounds, but hopefully had a good time overall.
Chickened Nomadizes, Hoarily, and Yolkier.

Solid performance there, Tom. Unlucky with the chickens, but still a worthwhile game there.

Excellent stuff Andres. I'd have won 139 - 79 to Tom and 139 - 27 to Andy. Looking forward to see how Tom gets on Tomorrow...

Not on Apterous but I don't have access to the source dictionary. GUSTOS valid though.

It's a mass noun according to ODO so I'm not sure GUSTOS should be valid either

It's fine - there's a singular definition
[IN SINGULAR] archaic
A relish or liking:
he had a particular gusto for those sort of performances

It's fine. It can be pluralised because there's an "IN SINGULAR" specification. Got to love the logic!

Yeah, I'm with you. Not sure that logic is correct! Might be fine, might not!

A quick search gives this

So it certainly isn't the case that 'in singular' always allows plurals on the tellybox.
