My results this time were a match for my results last time, right down to the conundrum speed.

1. CRAFTIER; I also noticed that duplicating the I would give the ten of FRATRICIDE
2. MOULDERS
3. 202 = 2*100 + 5 - 3
4. BIGOT
5. MIGRATES
6. 859 = 8*(100 - 2) + 75
7. FINALES
8. 432 = 8*(50 + 100/25) [1 off]; I found Lily's solution a minute or so after time. Once I hit on the idea of using a division by 8 I recalled that it was going to work.
9. ATTRIBUTE (2s)

CRAFTIER
SHOULDER
2*100+7-5=202
BOTTIE (as in nonsense wordsmith Stanley Unwin's quote from Ogden's Nut Gone Flake: 'Are you all sitting comfy-bold two square on your bottie, then I'll begin...)
STAGIER
8*(100-2)+75=859
FAILS and then FINALS just after time
8*(50+100/25)=432 (1 off, but went over time)

Nice game, Mike! Alas, BOTTIE is not listed (I had considered this myself, but did not like it enough), although I think most people would understand it in speech.
