New game 566 is now available.
Round 1: E D A L N R G O A
My selection: GROANED
Round 2: R A W T G B E O H
I thought (correctly) that BOGWATER was too dubious. I was surprised, though, to discover on later checking that BEGORAH was not listed (BEGORRAH and BEGORRA are), and even more so that WART-HOG requires the hyphen.
My selection: BOTHER
Round 3: Target 802 from 50 75 6 2 6 8
I somehow missed that 8*2*50 is 800, which would have easily tweaked to a solution. I saw it just after time.
My selection: 801 = (75 + 50/2)*8 + 6/6 [1 off]
Best: 802 = 2*(8*50 + 6/6)
Round 4: T R U H S I E P C
My selection: PICTURES
Round 5: A L O S M U T C X
My selection: ALMOST
Best: MUCOSAL
Round 6: Target 327 from 50 100 75 5 8 1
Once again I was a few seconds too slow to see an answer. The key insight was that 327 = 375 - 6*8.
My selection: 326 = 5*50 + 75 + 1 [1 off]
Best: 327 = 8*(50 - 5 - 1) - (100 - 75)
Round 7: E D I B E S D A F
My selection: DEBASED
Round 8: Target 241 from 100 75 50 10 5 4
My selection: 241 = 10*(100 - 75) - 5 - 4
Round 9: GRIEVE CAR
My selection: [N/A -- conundrum chosen explicitly]
Best: CAREGIVER

6. 5x75-50+1=326 (1 off)
7. baddies
8. (100-75)x10-5-4=241

GROANED
BOTHER
(8*2)*50+6/6=801 (1 off) and then just after time 6*(50+75+8)+6-2=802
PUSHIER
COAST
8*50-75+1=326 (1 off)
BADDIES (a foreign policy term)
Louise's way (might have gone over)

Good answers from Louise and Mike again.
1. GARLAND
2. x BOGWATER
3. 802 = (6+6)*(75-8) - 2
4. PICTURES
5. MOULTS
6. one off: 328 = (75-8-1)*5 - 100/50
7. DEBASED. Love it Mike, BADDIES was my first answer.
8. 241 = (75-50)*10 - 5 - 4
9. x CAREGIVER at about 30s, but had already buzzed at 1.5s with VICARAGE.
