I like GRANGE as an answer, incidentally. (Oh, and there's only one O in round 4, so MOTTOS would not have been acceptable.)<br /><br />Victor: Nice work with NEGATOR -- I felt there was a seven from those letters, but could not unravel it. Also with INSPIRE, and interesting that INSPIRER is valid. Always hard to tell what will and won't get the nod! That's a nice after-time solution to the 982.<br /><br />Nice numberwork, Louise. Unfortunately the Macquarie strikes again, as SPIKIER is not listed. No idea why SPINIER is and SPIKIER isn't, but that's the Macquarie for you.Geoff Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11150696891132723600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571384408188974384.post-58290186523833059542013-08-21T16:35:42.513+10:002013-08-21T16:35:42.513+10:001. match
