Nope....I didn't get it then and didn't get it now either. Oops. Was looking for MIS- or -ISM or some other complicated word. MULTIPACK was used as a heat conundrum and MULTITASK a semi final - think this is marginally harder though.
Hmmm, that's interesting, because I got MULTIPACK after half a second when it was on in that heat a few months ago. Clearly, I must be MULTI-talented. :lol: :oops:

It's a 7/10 on apterous, and this is despite the fact it's been solved every time it's come up since the finals were recorded (so it's presumably harder than that). Like you say, guess you're just good at the MULTI ones.

I thought SEAVIEWS was valid in one of the rounds. :oops:
I thought it was an unwritten rule on this forum that you should never capitalise invalid words. Once you've seen a word written that way it tends to stick in the memory. (SEAVIEW is also invalid, btw. It's SEA-VIEW)

Italicised? I thought that was the convention to distinguish between valid/invalid

I reckon I would have got it but I was doing other stuff at the same time.
