Round 1: E A O T M I U S L

My selection: SIMULATE
Best: MOUSETAIL


Round 2: E T P I H S I N L

My selection: LINIEST


Round 3: Target 524 from 25 50 10 8 4 7

Round 4: B O U E G K T N R

My selection: BURGEON
Best: BURGONET


Round 5: A I T H O N M T E

I saw THIONATE a little after time, but fortunately not sooner -- it is valid in Scrabble, but not in the Macquarie.

My selection: HEMATIN
Best: MONTEITH


Round 6: Target 935 from 75 100 8 7 7 1

There's only one solution to this, but there are several ways to 936 including 936 = (75 + 7*(7 - 1))*8.

My selection: 937 = 8*(100 + 7) + 75 + 7 - 1  [2 off]
Best: 935 = (75 - 7 + 1)*(8 + 7) - 100


Round 7: C S I E E D F R W

My selection: SCREWED


Round 8: Target 373 from 75 25 6 3 2 4

My selection: 373 = (6 + 3 - 4)*75 - 2

My selection: SPACESHIP (4.9s)
