DTMark Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 I assumed that they had a PC which determined the best word rather than doing it themselves. I don't think so.... they did (and I'm sure on this one) miss the word "slipknot" for 8 once quite recently. Though perhaps it was hyphenated in their dictionary edition. Now and again the contestants get words that Dictionary corner doesn't. The winner of the last series, who if I recall correctly lived about 6 miles from us and had the appearance of Ed Miliband's ******* love child, was absolutely amazing and outdid them fairly often. I'd always wondered how Rachel Riley swaps the letters around so quickly to show the words, but I'd assumed that bit was done after the show had ended.

The word games are the hardest in my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eight Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I don't think so.... they did (and I'm sure on this one) miss the word "slipknot" for 8 once quite recently. Good word, awful band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Uttley Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I assumed that they had a PC which determined the best word rather than doing it themselves. Susie Dent is a pretty good player, but not as good as the very best contestants. One of the producers is a former series winner and feeds some words to Susie.

She's pretty quick, but if there's a couple of interesting words then they film it at the end of the particular round. Sorry to be a killjoy, but slip knot is two separate words.

Don't tell me I can't have that one either Google: Slipknot That OED has something to answer for! I did manage "vignette" today, and I was watching eagerly as D then T came out, but nothing doing..

Rave Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 The point is that they'd have to call for three consonants, then a single vowel, then another two consonants. I don't fancy your chances TBH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't fancy your chances TBH. That's what makes the odds so long. I don't hold out that much hope... By the way Richard Whiteley's "Gotcha" is worth seeing. This is the edited version, it actually went on for a whole show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okaycuckoo Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Suzie's gotten old. I wish Rachel would do it in her underwear - the bending and the stretching. They should put the numbers higher and the letters lower. Am I getting old? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTMark Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 Suzie's gotten old. I wish Rachel would do it in her underwear - the bending and the stretching. They should put the numbers higher and the letters lower. Am I getting old? No. I've heard that said a lot There is a delicious interplay between Nick Hewer and the others. He's off in some sort of eccentric world and you never quite know what he's going to come out with. Susie Dent has mastered this way of repeatedly saying "OK" in a deadpan voice in response to him to try and avoid laughing out loud but doesn't quite manage it every time. Now and again it's hilarious, like when Nick really didn't know what the word "rogering" meant and invited her to explain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Uttley Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 http://wordsolver.ne...dic=d_twl&ml=15 That word solver uses an American dictionary, so not all the solutions will be valid. The only 7s from DOGVEGINA are GOADING and EVADING. The words DEAVING, DOGVANE, and NAEVOID would all be disallowed on the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
