New game 527 is now available.
Round 1: L A E K C T E O S
My selection: TACKLES
Round 2: T C T E T A O N F
My selection: OCTANE
Round 3: Target 465 from 25 5 10 6 2 3
My selection: 465 = 3*5*(25 + 6)
Round 4: R H S C R O E U O
My selection: CRUSHER
Best: OCHREOUS
Round 5: M F O T E N G C I
I found GENOMIC a little after time.
My selection: FOMENT
Best: FIGMENT
Round 6: Target 682 from 100 50 25 2 9 10
My selection: 682 = (25*10 + 100 - 9)*2
Round 7: A S D M E R O N P
I saw PANDORES / OPERANDS after time, but even that turned out not to be best.
My selection: PANDERS
Best: POMANDERS
Round 8: Target 531 from 50 100 4 5 2 6
I had a close call here; the first "solution" that I wrote down used the 100 twice. Fortunately I had written an alternative, and caught the error in time.
My selection: 531 = 6*(100 - 4) - 50 + 5
Round 9: SHOWED NUN
My selection: NEWSHOUND (7.9s)

Sam: You were pretty close in round 7 to the full monty of POMANDERS. Maybe that's what you were trying to think of?
Quite possibly. An erroneous mental mix of pomanders, pomeranians, and Pomeranz.
Ha!
