Into the 6th week we go, just 2 weeks before the summer break, and after the cameo provided by ex warm-up Greg Scott, the Apterite, Jon Elmer remains in the champions' chair. Can he make it to the end of the week when he'll hopefully have "the Beckham's daughter's middle name" wins.

Back in DC for his 3rd stint is probably the only person to have appeared on all 3 ITV breakfast shows (by that I obviously mean, TV-am, GMTV and Daybreak), as well as a stint on BBC Breakfast Time, the journalist and broadcaster, John Stapleton.

Join Ryan later for the recap.

If Jonathan had stuck an A in front of scribed, he could have had ASCRIBED for 8.

GUANACOS for 8 in the COAGULA round

Equalers: OVERMANS in round 11 (I think Jon spotted RAVENOUS before selecting the 9th letter?), STABILE in Round 12.
Also managed the second numbers a different way from RR (7*75-12).

Nice to see the INCORRECT answer return again, after a mini hiatus.

After all the debate on here about why it didn't get used last week and the week before, and whether they were phasing it in slowly, the correct explanation was the simplest one. They'd just forgotten about it.

Jon will be facing fellow apterite Mark Deeks tomorrow.

"Edition 5,302", eh? Which two aren't they counting?

I saw KILOBASE in round 12

Thought I had the most amazing 9 in Round 11 with MANOUVRES, then realised it had an E in the middle. Damn.
