Stuart Scholes won yesterday, but he'll need at least another today to have even a remote chance of qualifying for the finals. Can he get there?

Join Jack once again for the recap later.

Alt 1st nos ((25+6+1)x10)+8
Alt 2nd nos ((5+5+3)x25)-9-2

Alt 3rd nos ((4x25)+4+6)x7
Alt to ragfish of HOAGIES

No maximum score for Jessica today but she did the second numbers game in this alternative method:
5x5=25
25x25=625
625+3=628
628/2=314

Mauro/Jessica

And I did:
(25 + 2) x (9 + 3) - 5 - 5
But far too many 25's and targets in the 300's today

I had fishrag, but then I might have just been trying to second guess Jo

GARFISH is an alternative.

FORAGES is yet another for round 7.

INJECTOR for an 8 in Round 12.

Good close game again, enjoyed that. Scores quite low as a lot of rounds were won and lost rather than tied but not a bad standard either. I reckon the challenger today might have won a few himself if he got going.

Loads of alternative maxes there as the letters were pretty flat, OPENCAST in R4, INDURATE/DURATIVE in R5, GHERAOS/HEGIRAS in R7, ASSARTED in R11, but my only beater today was INJECTOR in round 12.

I'm just gonna do this, rather than type out my beaters etc. - may as well make some use out of how competitive I get against the TV

Haha, ul on the max. You'd have spanked me as I missed the 9 and the con (well I'd have clearly had it before 30s but didn't before the champ did)

Edit: Oh and EMPORIUM

Ta, missed the max by 1, 3 days running - absolutely gutting lol.

Usually wouldn't expect to see EMPORIUM but after EMPORIA yesterday, was a bit easier.

Even I got the 9, something which normally can be an indicator that it was easy!

My seven year old lad got JOINTER too, which at the time I told him wasn't a word, LOL! His granddad was VERY proud [of my lad].
