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.Kirk Bevins wrote: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.

Re: Spoilers For Wednesday June 16th 2010
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.James Robinson wrote: By the way, is it just me or did MULTITASK seem a pretty easy-ish conundrum for a semi-final![]()

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)Jojo Apollo wrote:Good spirited game throughout, well done lads. Great numbers round there by Oliver and an excellent performance overall once again, good luck for the final. Commiserations to Craig, well done for making the final four and your great numbers rounds during your run.![]()
I thought SEAVIEWS was valid in one of the rounds.
