The idea here being to edit the original post occasionally, based on suggestions received.

Who has contributed a resource that has helped people train for Countdown?
What resource did they contribute?
Is it still accessible today? If so, where / how?

It's more of a game than a tool at the moment. Maybe after a couple more features become public Eoin will consider it a worthy addition :)

Dan Byrom did say that his semi-final opponent used the app as well as Anki for his practise.

No. Not at all. No snubs here... that App is great and more than qualifies. Just lazily listed the first few that popped into my head... Will add the others that have been suggested, and any more that come in.

(App's name is just "Countdown" isn't it?)

Charlie made Anahack which was popular in the olden days.
