NOTE: Heath's declaration of {{word|PICRITES}} in Round 5 was allowed by Dent specifically on the basis of the example sentences. Dent had previously rejected {{word|VASELINE}} several episodes earlier for the same reason and producer [[Damian Eadie]] clarified that example sentences alone no longer constitute a word's validity, so allowing {{word|PICRITES}} here was inconsistent and should have been disallowed. The final score therefore should have been {{score|88|75}}.
