NG 531

New game 531 is now available.


Round 1: I D P T E A U K S

My selection: UPDATES


Round 2: C O M T R I U S G

My selection: SCROTUM


Round 3: Target 960 from 10 6 5 6 5 8

My selection: 960 = 8*(6 + 6)*10


Round 4: L A E T D I M F B

I erred here, misspelling FLAMBÉED as FLAMBÉD.  A shame, since I also had the valid FLATBED to choose.

My selection: [invalid -- FLAMBÉD]
Best: FLATBED


Round 5: A C A O L I X L N

My selection: ANOXIA
Best: COAXIAL


Round 6: Target 186 from 100 25 6 3 4 9

My selection: 186 = (3*9 + 4)*6


Round 7: B E C S N R T A E

As I've mentioned before, CABERNET only appears as part of the terms CABERNET FRANC and CABERNET SAUVIGNON, so is not valid on its own.  Thus CABERNETS is not available here for the full monty.  A shame.

My selection: ABSENTER


Round 8: Target 298 from 25 50 2 9 9 6

My selection: 298 = 6*50 - 2


Round 9: LOUSY DIET

My selection: TEDIOUSLY (12.2s)

It was TRAMINER recently, not RIESLING. :p And CABERNETS is a sore point -- I saw it, but I've mentioned a few times before that CABERNET is not listed in isolation, only CABERNET FRANC and CABERNET SAUVIGNON. So no joy there. (I opted for ABSENTER.)

Great work to find COAXIAL -- I didn't think of it until falling asleep last night.
