Joe McGonigle is up to his third win, which as a result puts him in the current top 8. Can he move up the ranks even further with a 4th win?
Join Jack for the recap later.

Jessica spotted LUCERNE in round 12 (CLUSTER round) and discussion ensued as to whether it took an S. Lexplorer says no. The definition in the ODE3 doesn't specify anything. It's a plant known as Alfalfa so you have to look under Alfalfa to check whether its a mass noun or not and then apply it to LUCERNE !!
Round 10 a possible 9 in REMASKING* was scuppered as it was not in ODE3 nor Collins!
Mauro/Jessica
edit: Joe is doing well, keep the wins going Joe !!

Would REMAKING have been OK?szodiac wrote: Round 10 a possible 9 in REMASKING* was scuppered as it was not in ODE3 nor Collins!
Also, what about OXIDATE in round 13? I know the usual verb is "oxidize", but the noun is "oxidation" and some sources list it as an alternative.

REMAKING is fine. Unfortunately, there's no OXIDATE^, I think OXIDATION is the closest there is.Guy Barry wrote:Would REMAKING have been OK?szodiac wrote: Round 10 a possible 9 in REMASKING* was scuppered as it was not in ODE3 nor Collins!

NOVENA in round 4, GRIEVERS in round 5, DARIOLES/GIRASOLE in round 11.
3rd Numbers Alt.: (5 x 100) + (8 x 4) + 25 = 557
