Matt Le Tissier won yesterday, to the delight of those who knew who he was before yesterday. Can he score another win today?

Join Tracey for the recap later.

very nearly no maxes for georgie today, very weak challenger, thought I was going to beat her to zero till the last numbers game.

Another new-OED beater from Ray Wilding corner - RETRAXIT.

She did get the first numbers game, just as she said 200, but Nick was told in his ear not to allow it, as she said 200 already....

Matt also mentioned having PURLOIN written down in round 4, when UNIPOLAR was also available as the darren.

Such a shame that the funny, smutty business was taken out from the NUTMEGS round, hopefully an appearance on It'll Be Alright On The Night for that.

COARSEN in round 1, OMITTED in round 2, NEGATES/SANGEET in round 4, DIOPTASE in round 8, MIAOWED in round 10, RATTIER in round 11 and AUTOPEN (at last, I've got it for once!!) in round 12.

1st Numbers Alt.: (75 - 4 - 4) x 3 = 201
2nd Numbers Alt.: ((50 x 8) + (7 x 5) + 8) x 2 = 886
3rd Numbers Alt.: (((9 + 1) x 25) + (6 x 2)) x 3 = 786

Yeah, I felt sorry for her at that moment and I think it badly affected her confidence for the rest of the game. Two good performances from Matt, though and we even got to speak to him briefly after this game, which was cool.
