CAROTID (I used this yesterday, and is a word -or at least the spelling- that I picked up here!)
ETHER then saw EITHER just after time
100+10+2=112
TOOTLES
UNCAGE? and presumably FARGONE is two words?
(9+2)*75-7-4=814 (3 off)
DONGED
2*100+25-1=224

1. CORDIAL
2. HERMIT
3. 112 = ((50-10)*75 - 2*100)/25
4. LATEST
5. COURAGE
6. 811 = (75+4)*9 + 2*50
7. DODGES
8. 224 = 9*25 - 1
9. SYLLOGISM - 19.5s. Quite happy to solve it, I didn't really know this word.
I'm glad to have helped with the vocabulary, Mike! UNCAGE is fine, and FARGONE is not listed, as you expected.
Congratulations on solving the conundrum, Sam, and HERMIT is a nice find.
