Transcription error in round 6. Obviously should have been 945 and not 545. I guess I would have missed out had it occurred on the show.
Well done on your words Victor.
1. defacto
2. unpegs
3. 9(50+6-4)+7=475
4. curate (missed that extra or!)
5. hooned
6. same as Mike
7. florist
8. same as Mike
9. switching (7.5s - a miracle for me!)
Good to see how #3 got solved - thanks.
Nice use of HONORED, Victor -- I generally struggle to see the American spellings.
Louise: DE FACTO is a good spot, but two words. Congratulations on getting the conundrum!
This was some of my best-ever invalid word finding.
1. x TWOFACED, DEFACTO also wrong
2. GENES
3. 476 = (9+7-6)*50 - 4*6
4. x COURTER/OUTRACE
5. THORNED
6. 945 = 9*(100 + 5)
7. x PROFILIST. Thought why not. Had PISTOL
8. 390 = (100+25+4+8-7)*3
9. SWITCHING - 1.0s
