ATOMIZES as a better alternative to SOMATIZE in round 1 and EASTERLY as a better alternative to LATERISE in the round with those letters (I'm not counting).

Define 'better'

My first thought was "that's a very useful alt for atomizes - it can take a D or S for a juicy 9!" (as indeed can laterise)

I always think it's slightly annoying when DC go straight for the more obscure words without even mentioning the more obvious ones. Like when Rachel goes a whole new method rather than adding the 1 on to the contestant's solution.

PUNANIES in R4
SERIATELY in R5
EVIRATE in R11

R9 Alt.: (100+9+7)*3 = 348

Out of interest, has there ever been a 3 declared where the player has seen a phantom letter?

I thought she said SAP.

Tattooed in round 12. A friend of mine saw it, I have to be honest
