Robin McKay back for a 2nd show - how many times will the team that is "better than Man United" get a mention?

I was starting to wonder where all the long words had gone, but they were all hiding in the second half.

The max in Round 11 (eulasypid^/updeals^ round) is apparently one of those weird words that Lexplorer says is OK but it's really not, and it's an 8. Will I need to use Lexplorer to iterate through all possible 7-letter combinations to write the Others words for this round?
I'm not dead yet. In a rut right now because of stress from work. I'll be back later in S89. I also plan to bring back the Mastergram - if I can find a way to run a timer or clock through pure MediaWiki without having to upload to Vimeo every time.

So close to a palindrome in the first letters! Has there ever been a perfect one I wonder?
Guess that's an Ask Graeme

Excellent Rob, just felt for you when you missed potholers - not that I got it relaxing at home.
Re: Spoilers for Thursday 19 May 2016 (Series 74 Prelim 70)
Hi Jim,
I remember in that round seeing pootlers so I had to make the choice, risk or not. I decided not to and thankfully it paid off. Wasn't even within a whisker of seeing portholes or potholers lol.
The thing is if words don't appear often, I have a tendency to forget them and these two words don't appear often enough on Apterous to make it happen, but it was a good contest today, overall. Kevin was very hard to play against and also a nice chap.
Best
Robin

I was hoping for COOWNING in one of the rounds. Hyphenated though.

Edit - looked it up - PAULDIES. I think it's two separate words!
