STARRED
BRAINED
(6*2)*75-(100/25*5)=890 (4 off and saw 2 off after time)
FOLIAGE and presumed S couldn't be added
CABLES
(5+4)*50=450
CATTIER
(10-1)*75-25-3=647
x was never going to get this!

1. PARROTED
2. UNPAIRED
3. one off: 885 = (100+75+2)*5
4. FOLIAGE, possibly late. FOLIAGES seemed dubious.
5. CABLES
6. 450 = 75*6
7. EXTRACT
8. 647 = 75*10 - (25*(5-1)) - 3
9. PERSIMMON - 6.1s

Good to see you again, Sam. Nice work by both of you to spot FOLIAGE(s); it's a borderline case, I feel. The Scrabble dictionary allows it, for what that's worth.

1. PREDATORS
2. UNPAIRED
3. 886 = 2*(6*75 - 5 - 100/50)
4. FOLIAGE (decided FOLIAGES was risky; still not sure which way to go)
5. ELBOWS
6. 450 = 6*75
7. EXTRACT
8. 647 = (10 - 1)*75 - 25 - 3
9. [N/A -- chosen, but the answer iS PERSIMMON]
