George: GIAOUR (6)
Ita: LAUGH (5)
DC: GORILLA (7)
Score: 6–0 (max 7)

Ita starts with a five, but George has a six. DC get the max with GORILLA

LIGULAR is valid too (in ODO not on apterous yet).

Re: Spoilers For Monday October 27th 2014

BAASIE in round 7 but I wouldn't have gone for it. LIGULAR as an alt. to GORILLA in round 1 too. It was in the ODE 2 but removed from ODE 3 and is now in the ODO. Very good again, George! Keep these awesome four large solves coming :D. Don't even think about ditching it for the evil two large again....
