The idea is that you have to take a set of Countdown letters, going from the Series 57 letter distribution:
A: 13, B: 2, C: 3, D: 6, E: 13, F: 2, G: 3, H: 3, I: 11, J: 1, K: 1, L: 5, M: 4, N: 8, O: 10, P: 4, Q: 1, R: 9, S: 9, T: 9, U: 5, V: 1, W: 1, X: 1, Y: 1, Z: 1
and the challenge is to come up with 13 9-letter words (11 for the word rounds, 1 for the conundrum and another 1 incase of a tiebreaker), thus making a perfect game (as in scoring the maximum for each round), like so:
R01. MHJDAIUNE
R02. SATICARIP
R03. DDSSEEEAR
R04. BNRPTUIOA
R06. EIMWZOANR
R07. PSRCROEES
R08. GLBOIONMY
R09. LSDOEHVLE
R11. UUAEFCLRS
R12. HNSKIEOTS
R13. QIANTINGU
R15. ARGENTFOX
R16. TRIALMEET
