NG 506

New game 506 is now available.


Round 1: G D O N U S C E A

I really wanted a final R here for SCROUNGED, but the next consonant was not an R in any case.

My selection: DECAGONS


Round 2: A F S G O E A K B

My selection: BOSKAGE


Round 3: Target 332 from 75 25 1 6 5 3

My selection: 332 = 5*75 - 25 - 3*6


Round 4: I R O N E S T R I

My selection: INTERIORS


Round 5: S H R I A O F N A

My selection: OARFISH


Round 6: Target 257 from 75 25 50 2 2 4

The target is unreachable; there are many ways to get to one off.

My selection: 258 = 4*(75 + 2) - 50  [1 off]


Round 7: U L T C E O R T E

My selection: CLUTTER
Best: ROULETTE


Round 8: Target 842 from 100 50 3 7 10 9

My selection: 842 = 9*(100 - 7) + 50/10


Round 9: OASIS LICE

My selection: SOCIALISE (2.9s)

CAUSED
BEAKS
3*(75+25+6+5)-1=332
STONIER
SHARIA
(4+75/25)*(50+2/2)=257
CUTTER
9*100-50-7=843 (1 off)
x no luck with -LESS (for me anyway).
