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?

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.

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.

What is it?

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

Obviously they've fired whoever was trying to sneak Beatles conspiracy theories into the English language.
