Spoilage, an anagram of Aegilops, is a variant available on Apterous, and is mostly a variant intended for fun. 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 | — | PNEUMONOULTRAMICROSCOPICSILICOVOLCANOCONIOSIS | 90 |
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 | — |
|
100 |
| 4 | 148 157 161 987 518 616 1 → 9218 | — | 39 – 45 | 9217 ☓ |
Best: 9217 = ((((987 - 148) - 161) - 616) x 157) - 158) + 1 |
110 |
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) |
120 | |
| 6 | LABRAT | fingeringlabrat ☓
(1 second) |
39 – 55 | COLLABORATES | 130 |
