I had a bit of a topsy-turvy time this week, with quite a variation in the scores and my first invalid word for over thirty games. That was a particular shame as it cost me a tie with David and Lily, in a game I had otherwise played reasonably well on. The week featured three pretty good contestants, any of whom could have gone quite far if not for running up against the others.

Ian See very briefly appeared in the finals rankings, only to be knocked out again by James Weatherhead. There's currently a very noticeable gap between the top five contestants and the next three.

There were three full monties on offer this week, but one of them was only found by Sam Gaffney. (It seems plausibly common enough for it to show up again, so I may get another chance some day). Not that much action in the numbers, although I managed to get myself tangled up in some of them; Lily skilfully avoided such issues.

As I mentioned above, I got myself in troubles in the numbers toward the end of the week, and that reflects in some dropped maxima. The invalid word on Monday was a careless oversight, but it was Wednesday where I really showed some problems, missing many maxima on the letters. Most other days were pretty good, though, and I did get all the conundrums within regulation time; twice contestants beat me to them, though.
