Some great words Geoff and Victor.

CONGEE (tried to learn from yesterday's game and then Victor comes up with CORNEAE!)
SWAMIS (saw WAISTS after time but was eventually relieved that SWAMIS was in my second edition)
Geoff's way
STABS and after time STAIRS. Well done on BARISTAS Geoff and Victor.
HINDERED - unusual 8 for me although it did appear obvious. Last time I was feeling pleased with myself getting an 8, Sam found a full monty.
Geoff and Victor's way
BROIL (love BIOPIC)
(10-7)*75+100+1=326 (a slightly different way)
x- could only come up with made up word EATAILING.
