Discuss anything that happened in recent games. This is the place to post any words you got that beat Dictionary Corner, or numbers games that evaded Rachel.
I thought the max would be 149 not 150 so I reckon John missed PEDICEL only. I missed MOTTLED and PEDICEL so if I was playing the challenger, I had 147 points. If I was in the challengers chair I'd have 141 points. Either way, both records. What a game. Surprised Carol missed the easy numbers of (100+8)x(2+4) -(8-3)

MATELOTE may have also been missed in round 12
Noooooooooooo - I have MATELOT and MATELOTE in my words I try not to miss! I got MATELOT in practice the other day and missed MATELOTE again. Surprise surprise - watching the show today, I missed MATELOTE. When will I learn?

So did John Davies in his game vs. Paul Gallen...
Edit because that's a bit unhelpful: Lee, 'gratinees' is no good - in his game vs. Paul Gallen in the quarter-finals of the last CofC, John Davies saw both RESEATING and GRATINEES^ in the first round, and wondered which one to go for - sadly he chose the wrong one
Interestingly, I spotted GRATINEES^ first and that's what led me to the double 9 RESEATING/STINGAREE. You just have to learn these pitfalls and learn to connect them with real words.

It's already been mentioned above, Joe. You are correct that ORGANDIES is an anagram and it's NOT pointless knowledge as people now know the 8 - ORGANDIE.
