MICROXEA to match ANOREXIC in R13.

Also had MADERISE in R11 by remembering my falsagram, dreamies. My mum thought of this and thought of our cat. ;)

UNROOSTED to match TOURNEDOS in R2

Probably a record for me, getting 90 points by 2nd advert break! Also, playing against Lawrie, I would have got 136 in total! :D

Re: Spoilers for Monday 25th September 2017 (Series 77, Prelim 59)

METARULE to beat EMULATE in R1.
R6 Numbers Alt.: (75 - 25 - 8 ) * 10
R14 Numbers Alt.: (10 + 6) * (8 + 1)

Surprised that STEAMROLL is a difficulty 10/10 conundrum though because I was able to get it and it didn't seem that difficult.

How come ALUMINES isn't allowed? ALUMINE isn't a mass noun.

2nd Numbers Alt.: (10 + 1) * (50 - 4 * 2)
I got RUNATHON as a beater in R11 because Rob Foster pencilled it on Apterous, on Friday, lol. :lol:

Re: Spoilers for Tuesday 27th June 2017 (Series 76, QF4)

Just wondering, why is ROMANIZE allowed if it is capitalised? I've noticed this before but I don't know why.

Also, stupidly missed FEATHERS in R13 by missing out the first E and only getting FATHERS. :oops:

Yeah, I saw REUNITED and was very surprised no-one else noticed it. :)

I got 800 in R9 at the last second, but then forgot my method. :oops: It ended up being the same as Rachel's though.

PINKWEEDS and CELLAROUS in rounds 5 and 8, but I failed to get the 9 in the IMPLODES round.
I saw PINKWEEDS as well, but I got it after the time was up. :(

Had UNRIDDLE as a beater in R11 but I wasn't sure if I should have risked it, and I didn't. :/

I didn't have any beaters today but I felt very proud of myself for getting TWOSOMES in round 12 and TROPEINES at the last second in round 13. :D

Re: Welcome! - Post here first

Hello! My name is Toby McDonald and I am a very big fan of Countdown. I have been watching Countdown for quite a while and I started playing more seriously in 2013. I used to watch it before though, as early as the Des Lynam era. However, I was born in 2001, so I didn't get to watch many programmes ...
