Here are mine:

FANCIED
BOUGHT (saw TOUGHED after time but not sure about that)
(9+5)*25-5*2)=340
TAILORS
WAITED
(6+7)*25-(7+3)=315
UNREAL
5*(100-(9-2))=465 (1 off)

Mike: TOUGH in verb senses only appears as part of phrases, so TOUGHED would not be valid. However, neither is BOUGHT because there was no G in that round.
