I was happy with UPRAISE before the SUPERFAN came along in R1.

MORTAL as an alt to TAILOR in R2.

Does anyone else think Paul looks like series 47 champ Chris Wills?

Dunno where to mention this. Hopefully someone will correct me.

The game summary on the Apterous wiki has a slight error: in round 4, Paul declared BALDIER rather than BALDIES (which would have been allowed).

Is BEDRAILS in round 4 allowed? It takes you to the US dictionary which I didn't think was allowed but it's on Apterous. Has there been a recent clarification?

Also Paul had quite a slump today after yesterday's performance.

US Dictionary is ok; US spellings aren't (see donut). This confused me for a while. Both RAILBEDS and BEDRAILS are valid.

Thanks for the info and happy birthday.

Has this actually bee confirmed? I know there was some discussion about it a while back.

Edit - there is this discussion where we're told entries from the US dictionary wouldn't be allowed. But there have been several instances since where they have been allowed, intentionally or otherwise. I don't recall ever seeing anyone (until your post above) saying that they are explicitly allowed.
