Excellent, you know why you got Pyramids Favs? Its because you are a clever Giza. *Audience oohs and aahs at the brilliance of Richard's wit* *Carol actually giggles. Flicks hair sensually* *Richard sits smugly smiling*

Can anybody match or beat Favs' 7?

Favs wins the rec for that round with PYRAMID for 7, the clever Giza. For future word game rounds, I think I'll have to change the format. Anybody who wants to play, PM me their word, and when the time is up, I'll post the supplied words in 1 post. At the moment, I can't figure out if people don't want to play or just can't beat the words which get posted first.

And now, onto our second numbers game. The lovely Carol, on instructions of an inverted T, chooses...

*** 50, 6, 2, 5, 4, 9 ***

And Cecil, the computer, generates a target of...

*** 606 ***

This is still a buzzer, first-come-first-served round, so as soon as you figure it, post it.

*Richard looks quizically at Carol who nods head*

Well done Jimmy, rec for you.

Coming into today's Countdown Conundrum, the scores are...
Darvlay 1, Starrman 1, Wucky3 1, Shanshu311 1, Marcusr 3, Jimmyb271 1, Favs 1, Chris Stephens 1, Siskin 1, so unfortunately its not a crucial conundrum.

Anyway, here it is. Remember, Countdown Conundrums are a 9 letter word jumbled up, so only post the 9 letter word you get from the following letters...

*** A C E I L N R S T ***

Fingers on the buzzers, and your time starts now.

Oh dear, that's not the word we were looking for, but it fits the criteria, so rec to you.

Speaking of clarinets...
RW joke
*************
How do you stop an oboe from being stolen?
Audience: how?
Put it in a clarinet case.
*************
*Audience giggles in sympathy* *Richard moves swiftly on*

Bonus rec for anybody who can post another 9 letter word from the conundrum.

That's the end of this game of rounds. Marcusr is our reigning chimp, err champ, and is already well on his way to becoming an octavian. I can't promise you a place in Lanzarote if you do it, but today you can have a place in the pun.
*Cheesy smile* *Carol groans* *Audience Groans* *Two titters from two old bats in front row*

Just to clear up any confusion.
Normal Letters games: PM me with your word, do not post it, should two people come up with the same winning word, rec for both of them.
Numbers games and Conundrums: quickest solution posted in the forum gets the rec.

No takers, ok, the word was LARCENIST.

End of game 1. Marcusr has 1 win under his belt.

Round 1 of game 2 is about to begin, but first may I reintroduce our resident letters and numbers whizz. *Richard giggles in anticipation of his joke* I was reading the book, Alice in Wonderland yesterday. Do you know Lewis, Carol? *Fixes yellow silk tie with blue and yellow fish on (http://www.bbc.co.uk/leeds/student_life/images/richard_whiteley_150.jpg). Looks pleased with himself* *Carol laughs in manner which suggests she feels sorry for Richard*

The letters are...
*** X *Carol looks apologetic and shows leg* E S *Carol blushes* *Pensioner packed audience giggle like schoolchildren* I D E T M P ***

So, to recap: *** X E S I D E T M P ***

PM me your words. 1 word per person please.

clarinest fits the bill, but I'm not sure it's an actual word (Google provides 375 hits for the word, and in at least the first 10 cases it appears to be used in the place of clarinetest - one who plays a clarinet).

CLARINEST, hmmm?

*Richard looks bewildered in the direction of the Guardians of the Dictionary, who shake their heads in a sympathetic manner.*

F-List celebrity says: "1 who plays the clarinet is known as a CLARINETIST. Sorry" *Audience awwwws in sympathy.*

Chris Stephens has posted a 7 lettered word for the current round. Can anybody top that?

Just realised if I only pm'd and got the longest word I couldn't get a rec.🙄
