STANDER? and a safer TREASON after time
LESSEN
3*(8*10+3)=249 (don't often get the rat packs in time)
LATER and CARTON after time
STRAINED
9*75+5050+8/8=726
BOTHER
(4+4)*(100+1)=808 (2 off)
x my conundrum solver didn't even get this

5050 should be 50 in round 6.

No mention of STANDER in the Macquarie, I'm afraid. And seems like you have an American conundrum solver -- they tend not to list -ISE endings.

1. OPERANDS
2. FLENSES (rightly rejected SLEEKENS, although that is in the Scrabble list)
3. 249 = (8*10 + 3)*3
4. ROMANCE
5. STRAINED
6. 726 = 9*75 + 50 + 8/8
7. BOTHER (saw BOTHRIA after time, but that's not in the Macquarie)
8. 810 = (50/(4 + 1))*(75 - 4) + 100
9. [N/A -- chosen, but the answer is OXYGENISE]

Thanks for the feedback Geoff. Can you recommend a conundrum solver?

I use this Scrabble solver mostly: http://www.wordplays.com/scrabble-help

It used to have similar issues, but has gotten better in the last couple of years.
