Better on the numbers than the words today.

SPINES (well done on SPINIEST Geoff)
MUCKIER
6*(100+7+4)-1=665
BEAST and after time STABLE
GAUDY(4-1)*100+25+(10-8)=327
PAINS (and PANICS and PICNICS after time)
(10+6)*50-1=799
ENCOUNTER (61s)

1. SPINETS
2. MUCKIER
3. 665 = 7*(100 - 4 - 1)
4. STABLE (also had FOLATES but forgot whether it was valid or not)
5. GAUDY
6. 327 = (4 - 1)*100 + 25 + 10 - 8
7. CASINO
8. 799 = (7 + 1)*100 - 6 + 50/10 (I like Mike's simple solution, I struggled on this round and barely got there)
9. ENCOUNTER - 13.9s

Oh, yes, that's a very nice simple solution to the 799. Well done, Mike! And nice work to get GAUDY, both of you -- for some reason that was not picked up by the word list I used. Or maybe I overlooked it.
