 | Andres S. Brocky I desperately need to hear your strategy on this (if there even is one) |
 | Joshua McCune Awh, why did I have to conk out so quickly ? Bonne chance, tout le monde ! |
 | Sean D A reminder of Rule 4 .... "If at least half the players in any round tie for the lowest score then everyone will advance." Now, are more than half the field going to fluke a French con, that's the question! |
 | Steve Aucello on va voir! |
| Elwin Carlos Surprising number of cons (especially in a run of 20) that are v similar / identical to English words.
|
 | Richard Barnett :( Managed to solve a few in the practice game but nil points here. I doubt I'll be the only one |
 | Matthew Brockwell @Andres, 85% chance that the round isn't a late one, so pick something fun for me and entertaining for others! |
| Richard Barnett And there was me expecting you to max it Matthew ;) |
 | David Holmes Can I just do Berserk again? |
 | Tom B Saved by BLABLABLA |

 | Ben S My process- stick the letters in a random order and try to say with a French accent. Does it sound French enough? |
 | Adam Latchford Genuinely impressive that as of writing all but one have solved one, I would not have predicted that at all |
 | Trevor Bissett Totally agree Adam. can't believe i got three although I was perhaps fortunate with forgeable and derailler. not sure where I pulled brindille out off |
| Richard Barnett Indeed! Of all the rounds I feared being eliminated this was not the one but this now seems likely. Merde. Et bravo a tous. |
 | Ian Kinsella Ah well… probably should’ve seen HYPERBOLE, but then again I probably wouldn’t have seen it in a normal game either lol |
