You can never really be sure, but one suspects that he's one of the best guests ever at spotting words. If he was taking it seriously he would be a match for all but the very best contestants.

My solution to the final numbers game:
75 × 6 + 50 × 3 + 7 + 5 = 612
Indeed, my solver reports 19 solutions - which I guess is quite a lot for one that has "lots of dead ends"!
