I hope the letters were hard today as I found this game difficult.

They were a mean mix today. Many thanks Geoff for this site - I've just found it.

They were hard Mike, and UNCLIP was a good find. Welcome Louise!

Yes, well done with UNCLIP, Mike, and on solving the conundrum -- you just beat me to the solution, in fact. And yes, definitely some tough mixes today, and recently in general.
Welcome, Louise, great to have a new reader/player. I hope you will enjoy your time here. Nice work with CATFISH in particular (I'm biased since that was also my choice *chuckles*).
Nice work with COSTUMED, Victor, and on a good conundrum solution.
Unfortunately, later checking reveals that UNCLIP is not listed in the Macquarie. (UNCLIPPED is in the block entries, though.) This has come up on the show before, in fact, in episode 338 where one of the contestants tried it and was unlucky. I was concerned about it on this game, perhaps due to almost-memory of that episode, but I fell into the same trap also.

2. UNLIT, remembered that UNCLIP was invalid.

9. x, tried ANTERIORS! Took several minutes to solve, had long forgotten this one.
