Spoilers for Wednesday 24th March 2021 (Series 83, Preliminary 58)

[Rhys Benjamin]

One year after a game was pulled from the schedules for coviddy reasons that we still haven't ever seen (ahem), Lukey Boy-nton is back for his 4th game, threatening to smash all records...

Can today's challenger stand in his way? (I already know the answer.)

[Fiona T]

See if I can beat him with another 10 letter word today

Also in Aketons* round, I had the saddest amount of cakes, which is of course NOCAKES

[Tom S]

Poor Bobby- Whilst he felt the pressure on the numbers, he in no way deserves to have the 2nd lowest 15 round score of all time.

[John Garcia]

2nd numbers game (using one less number than Rachel's solution):
100-10-4=86; 86x9=774; 774-3=771

[Gavin Chipper]

AKETONS (and AKETON) is valid on Apterous. No sign on Lexico, so maybe an old word needing to be taken out?

But there is a lesson in there. Always go for the least obscure available option.

Edit - There's already an Apterous ticket to remove it.

Google suggests it's a proper word, so maybe seemed safe. Either way, it was pretty unlucky! Luckily didn't cost him the game

[Toby McDonald]

Nice 203 trick in R3: ((((100*50)+75)/25)*4)-5 = 807

[Gavin Chipper]

OK!

Google also suggests 'rinsable' is a proper word (which was in one of the rounds), but there's no mention of that on Lexico either. Just saying...
