Re: Spoilers for Friday 2nd March 2018
Awful conundrum. Not really the level for a heat game. Not a word anyone's actually heard of. Unless you're a series champion sitting in the audience. Agreed on this point. This should have been used in the Finals...just like GELIGNITE last year... How on Earth does Countdown predict such a phenome...

Re: Spoilers for Thursday 1st March 2018
Well done Zarte and your reappearance after five years...it's a shame Philip's run had to end nearly the same way as the former did five years ago...Philip even said he felt like crying after the show which I pity and feel for him...but hey cheer up, let's hope you qualify for the finals and I reall...

Re: Spoilers for Tuesday, 27 February 2018
Well done Philip once again! The conundrum today was the fastest I have ever buzzed in (One second) playing along and it was certainly not fast enough for me to beat him in that round today, coupled with him beating me with VERSIONAL when I had AILERONS in R5 and the following round with a Boeing ta...

Re: Spoilers for Monday, February 26, 2018
Was a very good game, with 2 great players today. Beat Philip on a crucial today, but will probably be the last tbh... Happy to see the joy on Mick's face when he got the conundrum, but I do get the feeling Philip may have done some "Hansfording" on that conundrum and it backfired for him...

Re: Spoilers for Friday 23rd February 2018
You thought yesterday's Conundrum was solved fast enough, check out today's one, it was so fast by the time I took to press my phone to time it he had buzzed in already! My reaction like yesterday was like "What the??!!" I only managed it myself in 2.0s, yesterday's one in about 3.0s. Burs...

FOYAITES in R13...this is hands down the best game I've seen since Noel McIlvenny and Eoin Jackson's Quarter-Final on 19 December 2017! Such a shame Becky had to lose in the crucial...oh well and tomorrow's challenger is already know. Who shall prevail?

Today's challenger said he'd been on before, but there is no record of a John Owens on the wiki; however, a Jon Owens appeared in Series 22 (roughly 25 years ago) and won one game, which he said he had. Going to move Jon's page to the spelling "John" and add redirects, but please let me k...

What a good challenger Alyn was today! Especially the fast conundrum solve, makes him an excellent player and highest score without any wins at 86 points in the Series thus far!

With a maximum of 175, I believe this is the highest in the history of Countdown...I believe the highest before this was 166 last year?? (Sometime in February/March??)
