My results were virtually identical to the previous time, including spotting the better option on round 5 but not risking it, and having a mental meltdown in round six. I was a touch faster on the conundrum, however.

1. ARTICLES; rejected CRAWLIEST (invalid)
2. PRONATED
3. 792 = (3*25 + 7 + 6)*9
4. SOLDIER
5. DURANCE; UNGRACED (valid) elt too risky
6. 946 = (8 + 5)*75 - 25 - 4 [1 off]; considered the starting point of (8 + 4)*75 but was fixated on adding the 25 and missed teh simple continuation. Sigh.
7. FORMAT
8. 310 = 3*100 + 10
9. ACHIEVING (1s)

SALTIER
DEPORTS
(7-3)*(9-1)*25-6=794 (2 off and went over time)
SOLDIER (chose this over RESOLED but it was ok as turns out)
DANGER
(8+5)*75-25-4=946 (1 off and went over time)
FROTH
3*100+10=310
ACHIEVING (7s)
