This episode was missed. John beat David by 61 points to 53, after unscrambling RECITETAX on 8 seconds to become EXTRICATE, after David failed with EXTRICATOR on 4 seconds.

I think the 4 is crossed out -- David buzzed in on 4 seconds, got it wrong, and then John got it on 8 seconds.
I'm not dead yet. In a rut right now because of stress from work. I'll be back later in S89. I also plan to bring back the Mastergram - if I can find a way to run a timer or clock through pure MediaWiki without having to upload to Vimeo every time.
