No PEACIFY^ in the ODE, I better watch the rural Ulster dialect words

[Martin Gardner]

I think BIGNESS is alright for a DC-equaller but I didn't get any DC-beaters.

BIGNESS is fine. I had PANNOSE^ in one round and that turned out to be rubbish too. I think I was thinking of MANNOSE.

In round 2 you can have OESTRIN - which is only a seven but its still an interesting one. Also according to my shorter ODE i have discovered that ROUTINERS is applicable although it is rare. There is also ABRADES, AIRLINES,URETHRA and HOAXED in rounds 3,11,12 and 13 respectively

[David O'Donnell]

ROUTINERS and OESTRIN wouldn't be valid, bear in mind it's not the Shorter Oxford but the Oxford Edition Revised Second Edition that validates the words. The Shorter Oxford is a much bigger dictionary and there are going to be quite a few that are valid in it but not valid on the show. Nice equalisers though, I think I had MARINISE and SEABIRD in two other rounds but I couldn't spot any beaters today.

[Martin Gardner]

I might have gone for SIDEBAR instead of BRAISED, I saw PACILY and PACIFY earlier in the game as well. I suppose they are both ok.

Another game that brings us 2 rounds of triple letters. What next? Perhaps AAINSSSSS?

[David O'Donnell]

Speaking of hash smokers, maybe that's the reason for the new scrambles.
