A shame sugarier x and sugariest x aren’t specified. The latter threw me and I only managed a 7, how annoying! I got the second numbers Rachel’s way and SALTATION.

It's spelled ALSATIAN unfortunately. STATIONAL and ATONALIST were alternative 9s in that round

Alsatian is a capitalised proper noun in English as well, so not valid anyway.

Challenger declared clubers presumably not CLUBBERS because it was declared as a 6 so Colin shouldn't have ruled it out by saying there's only one B. It's invalid anyway but it might not have been.

It's invalid either way if they declared it as a 6.
