We had SUBPRIME recently I think so I'm a bit bummed to miss it this time.

Nice work with ANGORAS and ANISEEDS -- both are definitely valid.<br /><br />Mike: I like the idea of CHALLOIST -- heh! And finding TRUANT (even after time) was excellent; it was a tough mix.<br /><br />Victor: Congratulations on WIFEHOOD; I had hoped that would be my edge in this game. Bad luck on IMBURSES; it was definitely worth a punt. Also well done on solving that 965; it was a difficult one, I think.Geoff Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11150696891132723600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571384408188974384.post-57769392952817998852013-03-30T21:52:00.469+11:002013-03-30T21:52:00.469+11:00I like your conundrum guess Mike!
