NG 463

New game 463 is now available.


Round 1: U T D A P E R O F

My selection: UPDRAFT


Round 2: P N O I A C M E A

My selection: ENCOMIA


Round 3: Target 418 from 25 50 100 2 1 4

My selection: 418 = 4*(100 - 2) + 25 + 1


Round 4: R M A N I E C T I

I saw one of the nines here (METRICIAN), but thought that I was making the word up.  Oh, well.  The other nines are ANTIMERIC and CRIMINATE.

(Scrabble would also accept ANTICRIME, which I also spotted, but I've enough familiarity with the Macquarie that I correctly assumed it would not be listed.)

My selection: MINARET
Best: METRICIAN


Round 5: S T B O M E U O L

My selection: STUMBLE


Round 6: Target 855 from 50 25 4 5 6 2

My selection: 855 = (25 - 6 - 2)*50 + 5


Round 7: N F C I G E U A W

My selection: FACING


Round 8: Target 330 from 100 25 50 6 2 9

My selection: 330 = (50 + 9 - 100/25)*6


Round 9: NUDE ALIBI

My selection: [N/A -- conundrum chosen explicitly]
Best: INAUDIBLE

POURED
PACEMAN
4*(100+50/25*2)+1=417 (1 off) and well after time ((2*(100+4))+1)*50/25)=418
MINTIER
STUMBLE
(4*(6+2))*25+50+5=855
WINCE
6*(50+(9-100/25))=330
x wasted time on -ABLE instead of -IBLE!

Letter mixes frustrated me. I kept making up words.

1. x PROFUTED
2. MANIAC. Good find of PACEMAN by Mike.
3. 418 = (100-2)*4+25+1
4. MINARET/TERMINI. CARTMEN/CARTMAN is invalid
5. TUMBLES
6. 855 = (4+2)*6*25 - 50 + 5
7. FACING. Rejected GUNWIFE, correctly.
8. 330 = (100+50+9+6)*2
9. INAUDIBLE - 5.4s

1. ADOPTER
2. CANAPE
3. 4x(100-2)+25+1=418
4. REMAIN
5. BUSTLE
6. 50x(25-6-2)+5=855
7. FACING
8. out of time with 2x(100+50)+25+6=331 (1 off)
9. X inedible

Difficult letters this game.
