Spoilage is a variant available played on Apterous. In 2010 a tournament was made in the format.

Letters Rounds

Letters rounds involve making the longest word which includes those letters in that order.

Example

Rnd Selection Score Others Max.
1 AN ANTIDISESTABLISHMENTARIANISM 0 – 45 PNEUMONOULTRAMICROSCOPICSILICOVOLCANOCONIOSIS 45
2 CCI FLOCCINAUCINIHILIPILIFICATION 29 – 45 74


Numbers Games

Just super hard. The large numbers are between 101 and 999, and the small numbers are between 1 and 10, with a four-figure target. Like Hypercountdown, but on steroids.

Example

Rnd Selection Score Others Max.
3 742 583 852 688 3 9 8 → 6115 6115
(752 + 3) x 9 - (688 - 8)
39 – 45


84
4 148 157 161 987 518 616 1 → 9218 39 – 45 9217 ☓

Best: 9217 = ((((987 - 148) - 161) - 616) x 157) - 158) + 1

94


Conundrum

The conundrum will have a 12-letter answer, but only a few letters are displayed. These are in order.

Example

Rnd Selection Score Others Max.
5 BLING bingerings ☓
(15 seconds)
39 – 55 ESTABLISHING
(29 seconds)
104
6 LABRAT fingeringlabrat ☓
(1 second)
39 – 55 COLLABORATES 114
