NG 568

New game 568 is now available.


Round 1: A U A D S H R C A

I spotted CHADURS a bit too late.  (Actually, I was torn between CHADURS and CHADARS as the spelling; it turns out that my Scrabble list has CHADAR but not CHADUR, while the Macquarie has CHADUR and CHADDAR, but not CHADAR.)

My selection: DACHAS
Best: CHADURS


Round 2: T A E G O F H R T

My selection: FROTTAGE


Round 3: Target 204 from 75 25 3 5 4 9

My selection: 204 = 3*75 - 25 + 4


Round 4: L R N I E A M N I

My selection: MAINLINER


Round 5: W F O L C E U B A

WOLF CUB is listed, but as two words.  BEOWULF is proper, of course.

My selection: WOEFUL


Round 6: Target 723 from 75 50 10 1 4 5

The target is unreachable, so one off is the best to be done.

My selection: 724 = (5 + 4)*75 + 50 - 1


Round 7: E E A I P S T B D

I saw BEADIEST a little too late also.  I've had a spate of that recently, it seems.

My selection: DEBATES
Best: BEADIEST


Round 8: Target 727 from 50 25 75 1 4 9

My selection: 727 = 9*(75 + 4 - 1) + 25


Round 9: RAPID PINE

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