That's basically the Duel.

Fair enough. How about more Duels incorporating Hypertouchundrums then?

I've gone and used my wildcard despite being in 2nd place because some of my players had yellow 'i's, which creeped me out a bit. I thought if I'm going to make 2 changes I may as well make half a dozen and use my wildcard. I'll probably sink without a trace now.

Not to mention RODLETS, which has the more obvious anagram OLDSTER.

This stats page is interesting. Wigan's players have had 28 appearances (11 starters and 3 subs twice) and have amassed only 23 points between them!

This was a wonderful coincidence.

My winning scores were pretty much the same as Oliver's losing scores. I only came through because of the conundrums. Thanks for the games Ben.

A lot of goals so far for my team from the 2 gameweeks. If I can just get my substitute priorities right I'll be right up there with Gallen.

I like the fact that you can now filter by length in Word Stats. At some point I'll have a good look at all the most common nines in Normal, Goatdown and Touchdown and try to Sponge them.

Your group game result carried over to the playoff, so Jim went into the playoffs with a win over you. Dunno what the deal with the Lloyd/Jim game was, but I presume that if he'd lost that, the tie-breaker criterion would be the result in your game, which would mean he'd win anyway. But that's just...

I hate to throw a fly in the ointment, but I didn't lose a game in the U1400 playoffs. I was scheduled to play 2 games and I won them both, yet you have my record down as 2-1. The champion only has 2 games in his record. Please explain...

Oh and don't ever mention words to him if you're after the pencils. WATERBLOMMETJIE and MIDDELMANNETJIE are examples.

This is the first thread I've started. It's for moaning about would-have-been-oh-so-great pencils if Bayfield hadn't got there first (usually via Aegilops). I want to make it clear that I don't have any personal vendetta against him, although those who do are more than welcome here. I feel like Buzz...

Can we have a different item for pencils gained in Aegilops so that when I spot Darrens such as POTJIEKOS or VANQUISHABLE in Hypertouch I actually get something other than another measly baseball cap for it? Alternatively you could just replace each of Bayfield's Aegilops pencils with "a piece ...

From today's News: "Slightly increased the conundrum difficulty cap for most players, since not enough people were enjoying the delights of 10/10 conundrums." If a conundrum was 10 and everyone started getting it, would it then become a 9? Or if it was a 9 and no-one got it for a while, wo...
