Here are mine:

GONGS (pity no D for DUGONGS)
SNEAKER
7*25-(9+5+4)=155 (1 off)and just after time (5*7+4)*4=156
ALBUMS
x - FILIP (needed a double L)
5*25+6+2+3=136
DRIFTER
8*100-7=793
x

1. CONGEES
2. SNEAKER
3. 156 = 4*(25 + 9 + 5)
4. SAMOSA
5. FOIBLE
6. 136 = 6*(25 - 2) - 5 + 3
7. CRAFTIER (this mix looked familiar - it was in episode 295 it turns out)
8. 793 = 8*100 - 7
9. - (I think it's much harder to solve when it has X and E but doesn't begin with EX- )

Ooh, DUGONGS would have been great, Mike! I like your after-time solution to 156, too.

Victor: Nice work with FOIBLE -- I wish I had seen it! Instead I went for the uncertain colloquialism of BLOWIE and fortunately got away with it. Also good word with CRAFTIER, and thanks for finding it in episode 295.
