R3: 596 (10)
R4: ATOMISED (8)

R7: GROUCHY (7)
R8: MATELOTS (8)
R9: 985 (7)
R10: BUFFOON (7)

A longer look and I’ve found an extra 9.

8 maxes I make that, not bad at all considering there is a fair bit of obscura hidden throughout! :)

I knew there had to be with you setting it :P

I can definitely get it up to 10, there might be something like veetees or teevees in R13. Hopefully someone can fill in the gaps!

Ah good spot! This wasn’t the extra 9 I’d seen, that was in fact PARENETIC in R1.

Rounds 9, 12 and 15 remain unmaxed (totally a word) in or out of time (people clearly are bad at multiples of 3 rounds). Will post a new set soon, even though it seem only 2 people are playing... :lol:
