Three fantastic entries there. DESPITE his best efforts, Chris could only come up with a 7 letter word. Alcra decides that no word better than 7 has EXISTED, and Mat Kelley EXEMPTS himself from the need to search for an 8 letter word by going with the 7.

*Carol looks suitably impressed at the hattrick of puns.* *Sound of joints cracking as audience tries to clap.*

And how did our Guardians of the Dictionary get on? Only 6 with EXITED, well that's a way out word. *Richard has fit of giggles* *Carol can't help herself from tittering*

Chris, can you send in an *accepting applause with well mannered nod of the head* post, so I can give you the rec?

And the letters for round 2 of game 2 are...
*** E C I E R T N O P ***

There's nine in the frame, let's get on with the game.

There is no countdown on TV cause of Good Friday, but I really think this is a most fitting replacement.

You'd make a good Richard, Ragnorak.

I am sorry chris but that last one is easy. Even Richard would have got it.

I have come to the conclusion I am rubbish at this game. I could only get six.

Edit - I have enjoyed reading the thread though 🙂

Some fantastic entries there. Kyngj was hunting in the right direction with POINTER for 7. rhb was sponsoring equality for adolescents with PROTEIN. *groans all round* But Chris, Wucky3 and demonseed will be in RECEPTION of the rec for 9.

Guardian's of the dictionary, Susie Dent, how did you get on?
*Susie is slightly red, gets pen camera out*. We couldn't beat 9, but at 8, we got ERECTION.

*Richard looks delighted*
Come on, lets see it up Carol. err, on the board that is.
*More teenage like giggling from pensioners in audience.

And moving swiftly onto the letters game...

Upon instructions of 2 from the top *Carol ooos and looks seductively at brave requester* *requester looks delighted that Carol has given him some attention* and any other 4, the numbers are...

*** 1 75 10 2 50 3 ***

And Cecil sets the target at

*** 955 ***

Best of luck. Did I say letters game? I meant numbers game, and you should have know what I meant. *Richard tries to look cross* *Richard fails miserably due to big cheesy smile and pink and yellow tie, matched with green jacket*

Your time starts now.

In Toe's continuing battle against the tendency of all matter and energy to evolve toward a state of inert uniformity, he posts ENTROPIC after the end of the round.

Can I just reiterate my stance against people using computers to solve the numbers game.

This is just a fun game, and would be spoiled if somebody started using a javascript to solve it.

Thanks and enjoy,

Oh, and for those who are interested, down in South Africa, we have this game as well - here we call it "A word or two".

Apologies to everybody for breaking out of my Richard persona for that post. That's way too clever by half for Mr Whiteley. I'll try not to let it happen again.
