Eoin Jackson This seems like pure mayhem to me...

Jason Larsen

Jason Larsen I am the weakest link. Goodbye everyone.

Adam Latchford

Adam Latchford I'm actually glad this is against rex over any other unpredictable bot that can do you in

Elwin Carlos

Elwin Carlos True... Even scoring zero here is fine provided you didn't do terribly in round 1!

Bailey Cowell

Bailey Cowell That was a difficult one - least I'm through on total points.

Steven Oldham

Steven Oldham Even a rare 11 wasn't enough to get on the scoreboard, evilly tough round.

Matthew Tassier

Matthew Tassier That was tough, particularly for only round 2, but highlights include some cool pencils such as SHOWMANCES, BONESHAVES and TEABAGGINGS. This round's Strongest Link was Chris, impressively getting on the scoreboard in 8 rounds of his game.

Matthew Tassier

Matthew Tassier With 18 players stuck on 0, it all comes down to how well they did in round 1. Jason is the first person this year to prematurely announce his departure as Andy's round 1 reprieve turns out to be short-lived. Andy, you are the Weakest Link. Goodbye!

Andy SC

Andy SC And all I had to do to get through this round was declare SOON instead of SOONS in R1 or not miss out a letter in the Conundrum.

Thanks for hosting.

Tourney round: Weakest Link Mayhem 2023: Round 2 - Hypertouch Letters Attack

<< Round 1 - 15 Rounder | Round 3 - Italian 15 >>

Notes from the organizer: I've fired up the Random Round Generator, and ... it's not great news!
Rex is appearing at the first opportunity and he will take you all on in a hypertouch letters attack. So, 12 letters and you may change one. It looks like you're likely to need 9+ letter words to match Rex so I recommend speculative made-up words over safe 6s. Don't be too demoralised, one scoring round is likely to be plenty to get you through.

One lowest scoring Weakest Link will leave the tournament this round. If there is a tie for lowest score then total score in the tournament so far will be the deciding factor. The current total scores will appear next to each player's name below from this round onwards for your convenience.

The rounds will come thick and fast from now on with round three due to start the day after this one, so get your game in sooner rather than later if possible.
