David Franks has been going strong so far this week. With an impressive century already to his name and scores of at least 90 in his last 4 games you would be stupid to discount him as a contender in series 47.
After previously beating a Scot now the Irish have a go at David with Tony McManus from Dublin.
Enjoy the show.
Round 1: N P I T S E U C A
C1: PANTIES (7)
C2: PINTS (5)
DC: NUTCASE (7) INSPECT (7) PUNIEST (7)
OT: PETUNIAS (8) SUPINATE (8)
Score: 7–0 (max 8)
It is clear that coming from Dublin Tony is probably a Guinness fan so PINTS was easy for him to spot. Not good enough though as David is on his way.
Round 2: M D G I E O N I Z
C1: MIDGE (5)
C2: ZONED (5)
DC: DOMINIE (7) IONIZED (7)
OT: DEMOING (7)
Score: 12–5 (max 15)
Just 5's, not the nicest set of letters with IONIZED the pick of the 7's.
Round 3: R F O Y W U E P T
C1: POWER (5)
C2: WEPT (4)
DC: POUTER (6) PUTREFY (7)
OT: TORPEFY (7)
Score: 17–5 (max 22)
Lovely spot for DC with an equally impressive 7 also there. David beats Tony's woeful WEPT.
Round 4: B N A E M T O A S
C1: BOATMEN (7)
C2: BANTAMS (7)
DC: AMOEBAS (7) ENTOMBS (7)
OT: AMBONES (7) BEMOANS (7) BATSMAN (7) BASEMAN (7) BATSMEN (7) BOATMAN (7) NAMASTE (7) SMETANA (7)
Score: 24–12 (max 29)
Maxed by both. That's the shit we love.
Round 5: 75, 6, 4, 10, 7, 4. Target: 446.
C1: 446. 75*6-4 (10)
C2: 446. 75*6-4 (10)
Score: 34–22 (max 39)
And an easy numbers game boost the scores.
Teatime teaser: HATFITS -> FATTISH
Round 6: D G Q E I O L R U
C1: GUILDER (7)
C2: GLORIED (7)
DC: GODLIER (7)
OT: LIQUORED (8)
Score: 41–29 (max 47)
Argh. David thought about LIQUORED but unusually for him made the wrong decision in going with his 7. Not to worry.
Round 7: V N I X S E A F D
C1: INVADES (7)
C2: INVADES (7)
Score: 48–36 (max 54)
Boring round. Still, it has to be spotted don't it?
Round 8: R M P U A H O E L
C1: HAMPER (6)
C2: larumph
DC: ARMHOLE (7)
OT: AMPOULE (7) HUMERAL (7) MORULAE (7) PLEROMA (7)
Score: 54–36 (max 61)
Larumph? Harumph perhaps. HAMPER steals it.
Round 9: S C I G D E A L O
C1: CADGES (6)
C2: GLADES (6)
DC: LODGES (6)
OT: CELOSIA (7) COLDIES (7) GOALIES (7) SILAGED (7) SOLACED (7)
Score: 60–42 (max 68)
DISLOCATE almost appeared again. Handful of 7's to go at but disappointingly everyone in the studio just sees 6's.
Round 10: 100, 50, 7, 3, 8, 6. Target: 492.
C1: 492. (50/(3+7))*100-8 (10)
C2: 492. (7+3)*50-8 (10)
Score: 70–52 (max 78)
And another easy numbers game is no difficulty for anyone.
Teatime teaser: BESTUCK -> BUCKETS
Round 11: K G E L M I O F T
C1: FILM (4)
C2: FILM (4)
DC: GIMLET (6)
OT: FOLKIE (6) MOTILE (6)
Score: 74–56 (max 84)
2 off the max here but it was a very ugly selection. Next round please.
Round 12: C R N A E S O A H
C1: ANCHORS (7)
C2: ARCANE (6)
DC: CRANES (6) RANCHES (7)
OT: ANARCHS (7) ARCHONS (7) COARSEN (7) CORNEAS (7) CHENARS (7) HOARSEN (7) SENHORA (7) OCHREAS (7) ORACHES (7) ROACHES (7) ROSACEA (7)
Score: 81–56 (max 91)
And this round is pretty naff too with all those 7's parading themselves. Oh, Tony ain't spotted any of them. Diddums. Still, a beater in this next round could save his bacon.
Round 13: G D E T N I A V P
C1: PAINTED (7)
C2: EVADING (7)
DC: DEVIANT (7)
OT: VINTAGE (7)
Score: 88–63 (max 98)
Nah. David comes up with the goods and finds one of the 4 available 7's to take his tally of wins to 5, already he will be thinking about game number 6 tomorrow.
Round 14: 25, 75, 5, 10, 9, 4. Target: 369.
C1: 369. 75*5-10+4 (10)
C2: 369. 75*5-10+4 (10)
Score: 98–73 (max 108)
Or is he? I think he has a century in his sight, and also this could be his highest score if he gets the conundrum.
Round 15: L E E D A C T O R
C1 buzzes on 8 seconds to say RELOCATED which is correct.
Score: 108–73 (max 118)
David does. Unravelling the scramble in a none too impressive 8 seconds. Still he notches up century number 2 helped by the fact that he scored in every round. His average swells from 94 to 97 with this win too!
Commiserations to Tony who finished respectably with 78 but David's words game was too good for him today.
Join me tomorrow for a very romantic recap.
