New game 523 is now available.
Round 1: D W E U T A P G U
My selection: UPDATE
Round 2: I C R D N H A D O
Sadly, the Macquarie does not list DICHONDRA.
My selection: HADRONIC
Round 3: Target 963 from 9 2 3 10 4 6
It took me a while after time to find a solution of 963 = ((2*10 + 6)*4 + 3)*9. There is only one other solution: 963 = (9*2 + 6)*4*10 + 3.
My selection: 964 = (9 + 3)*(6 + 2)*10 + 4 [1 off]
Best: 963 = ((2*10 + 6)*4 + 3)*9
Round 4: R E T A I M O N R
A little surprisingly given the Macquarie's tendencies, TRAMINER is listed here as valid in a lowercase sense.
My selection: ANTERIOR
Round 5: T I A K A F T T O
My selection: TAFIA
Round 6: Target 817 from 100 75 6 10 8 7
My selection: 817 = 8*100 + 10 + 7
Round 7: Z S I C E R T I C
My selection: ICIEST
Best: CRITICS
Round 8: Target 597 from 25 50 75 10 8 6
My selection: 597 = 6*(75 + 25) - 8 + 50/10
Round 9: MORAL COOK
My selection: [no answer]
Best: CLOAKROOM
