Enjoyed this episode very much. Natalie played a good game, her ability to play blind Countdown is amazing.

SONGTHAEO for R7

MIJITAS in R2 - but it says US, so might be a dictionary error on Apto?
UPGRADERS in R5
CONNOTES in R11
AIRPOTS in R12

Probably wouldn’t be allowed, though I notice in the dictionary the US label is underneath the brackets instead of inside. The entry without its apostrophe is from American Spanish, while mi’jita is Caribbean. Going by the origins, I’d say that’s invalid.

According to Alan on Facebook, DC spotted CONNOTES but it was edited out? I thought it was a bit of an obvious one to miss

MIJITA is a US word (cf. ZUCCHINI, ARUGULA), not a US spelling (cf. COLOR, SULFUR) so should be fine

Thanks. BTW, you are actually allowed SULFUR, despite it being a US spelling originally, as the -f- spelling is used widely enough in the UK (and globally) in chemistry and other technical uses and is even considered the standard spelling.

TOPIARY in R12
INFANTA in R13

Hats off to Natalie, sensational performance.
