Hehe, good try, but there was only one T.

Toby McDonald

LENTANDO in R12

Toby McDonald

And OPGAFS too.

Toby McDonald

BEAUTER in R4 as well.

Toby McDonald

Hi Noel, Sorry to see you go so soon, but I guess we all have to at some point. It's been great to see you on TV and to play you on Apterous. And your 4L skills are impeccable! I'm sorry we couldn't meet at CoC, but I hope you got to show off your brilliant skills again. I look forward to seeing you...

Toby McDonald

PAGETIC in R7

Haha, thanks Tom.

Thanks Owen. I will.

Toby McDonald

It was nice to see Laura make a return on the show after 13 years, commiserations to her but still, a wonderful game with POULETS and FUNDIES from her. Indeed, Countdown runs through your family!

That's still a brilliant 9 though. Well done Toby.

Cheers

Toby McDonald

I was in the audience for all Charlie Stayt's episodes and in this one, my only beater was GOODYERAS in R1.

Toby McDonald

PAGEHOOD in R8 as well.

Can't believe Rachel missed the R9 numbers from Dan's method: ((((25-1)*10)+2)*3)-7

Toby McDonald

AEROLITH as another R13 beater.

Toby McDonald

Came here for ROSARIUM, but Ray beat me to it, so I'll say ORARIUMS.

Toby McDonald

LEADWORT for a R1 alt.
R14 Alt.: (75-4)*((100/5)-5-3)

Toby McDonald

Apterous says PELAGES is allowed, but if Susie and Oxford Dictionaries say it's a mass noun, should it be removed?

COLUMNS as an easier 7 in R8.

Toby McDonald

OUTLEAPS in R2

Toby McDonald

ARROGATE in R13

Toby McDonald

OVISCAPT in R5

Toby McDonald

ORARIONS in R12 too.

Toby McDonald

AVISOS in R10

Came on here for PREDIKANT in R13 but Johnny beat me to it.

Toby McDonald

AEGROTAT in R11

Toby McDonald

PORIFERAL in R5

Toby McDonald

BADIGEON in R8

2 seven-time winners in the same series already, lol. Matthew seems like he could win quite a few games.

Toby McDonald

ALBERGO in R4

Toby McDonald

I was hoping for an E, but for LLANERO instead. But ALLERION would have been there for 8.

Toby McDonald

AUTOLYSE in R10
NEWSIEST in R13

Owen Carroll wrote: ↑Thu Jul 19, 2018 3:17 pm Depends on the aganol word. Can someone please tell me if that spelling's allowed?

No, it's not. AGONAL is a valid anagram.

Toby McDonald

VESICANT for a R4 beater.
NEUROPILS for a R10 alt.

Toby McDonald

OTARIIDS as a R13 beater.

Toby McDonald

Couple of beaters from me today:

PARERGON in R4
OUTWALES in R5

Toby McDonald

POINDLAR as a R8 beater.

Toby McDonald

Yes, very good job Toby. Also Jason put in easily his best performance. ROMANITES was allowed and is valid on Apterous, but is listed with a capital R in the dictionary - the free version at least. Also, not that it made any difference as it's invalid anyway, but when Toby offered outlain, it would...

Toby McDonald

MIXITES for a R12 alt.
Slightly easier R14 alt.: (9 * 4) + 10 + 100

Toby McDonald

DELTOID in R1.

Toby McDonald

HAVENOR for a beater in R8.
POETITOS as a R13 alt.

Toby McDonald

MITOUT as a R2 beater. (Only remembered because I pencilled it

)

R3 Alt.: (100-4)*(((75-50)/25)+7)

Toby McDonald

R6 Alt.: ((75*50)-100)/25

Sad to see Jodine go. Disappointed that she didn't become an octochamp.

Toby McDonald

Wow, what a debut by Jodine! Brilliant score, really hope she becomes an octochamp. She seems quite calm and very likeable.

She was very unlucky with BOOTLET. That seemed very plausible indeed.

Toby McDonald

R6 Alt.: (((7+3)*9)+1)*6
RACEMULE as a R10 beater.
GASOLENE as a R12 alt.

Toby McDonald

In the end it wasn't Zarte or Philip that suffered most from them having to face each other in the heats - it was Toby McDonald! Because Philip ended up as the number 7 seed, Toby got knocked out in the quarter finals, whereas he probably would have got to at least the semi-finals otherwise. Cheers...

Toby McDonald

Congrats Zarte and unlucky Philip! Incredible game by both! Some of those spots even stumped me when playing in the audience (TITANIC, BENZOATE, COWGIRLS, and 672). It was a pleasure to watch it live from the audience. One of the best finals I've ever watched!

Tom S wrote: ↑Tue Jun 19, 2018 8:57 pm BTW I didn't spot a Toby McDonald behind the lady who solved the conundrum today, or maybe it was just an assumption...

Haha, lol, that was me, and my mum sitting to the right of me.

Toby McDonald

I remember I actually got R9 playing in the audience, but didn't get it this time.

Also picked up on a slight little error by Nick. He said that Philip beat me YESTERDAY, rather than FRIDAY.

Toby McDonald

There are actually a couple of things I want to say about this show: 1) In R5, when we both had ALUNITE (you may not have noticed this, but I took a while looking at Philip's paper), I couldn't see where he'd written it. I didn't want to say he didn't have it though because I've never heard of that ...

Toby McDonald

A truly great game. Just a shame someone had to lose. Well done Philip. Yeah, that was a shame, but that's just the way the cookie crumbles sometimes. I think Philip deserved the win more than me though. :) Well done Philip. I didn't think you'd choose 3l in the final selection though. And well don...

Toby McDonald

OUTHOLD and HOLDOUT as R10 beaters.

Toby McDonald

Admittedly also missed the second E in HARKEN like Chris did.

R14 Alt.: ((50 + 3) * (10 + 7 - 2)) - 6

Toby McDonald

AERONAT and ALATERN as R8 beaters.

Toby McDonald

Jan made my mistake of going for a consonant in R5 when a vowel would have given a 9. xD
