Again, my results were much the same as the writeup. It was close to being much better, but not quite there.

1. ENTICES, INCITES; saw NICETIES about ten seconds after time ran out
2. THUMPED, MOUTHED
3. 430 = 6*(75 - 2 - 1) - 50/25
4. GASOLINES -- I was pretty sure this was this round after the first four letters
5. COWERED, DEFORCE
6. 993 = (2*3 + 4)*100 - 7
7. GUITAR; found GARUDA after time
8. 931 = ((9 + 4)*10 + 3)*7 [2 off]; a little after time 930 = (3*4*7 + 9)*10, but it took another twenty seconds or so to find 929 = 4*9*(3*10 - 4) - 7
9. SCAPEGOAT (2.5s); just pipped by Jacob -- I saw the answer as I paused the video after his buzz

Great original write up Geoff. Jacob's insights were interesting as well.

BESTIE and after time ENTICES just before it was first declared
TAMPED and again, MOUTHED just after time
(75/25+6)*(50-2-1)=433 (3 off)
LEASING
CROWED
(7+3)*100-4-2=994 (1 off, and can't believe I didn't go with the non 7 way to make 10)
TRIAD and missed GUITAR yet again. It seems to be a recurring word
9*((7+3)*10+4)=936 (7 off, and if I had more time I would have taken the remaining 4 away for 932)
