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.

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

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 742 583 852 688 3 9 8 → 6115 | 6115

| 4 | 148 157 161 987 518 616 1 → 9218 | — | 39 – 45 | 9217 ☓ |
Best: 9217 = ((((987 - 148) - 161) - 616) x 157) - 158) + 1 |
