Fantastic

Yes! I got the nine in the final letters round! My happiness at spotting ANGLICISE was only mitigated by the fact that the contestants didn't get it. Also, there was an eight in CEILINGS.
In the final numbers round, I factored the target (23 x 17 x 2 = 782) for this solution:
7 x 3 = 21
25 + 21 = 46
10 + 7 = 17
46 x 17 = 782
Got the conundrum just a shade ahead of the contestant, but since I wasn't ringing in that probably means we actually got it at the same time.

Well done but it can't have been too hard a numbers round because I did:
3×10=30 7-6=1
30+1=31
31×25=775
775+7=782

(7*3+10)*25+7 = 782

Deslhinam- Mishandle, I see what they did there!

[@tygrl]

try to form the longest word from the chosen letters, and
solve for the randomly generated 3-digit number using any combo of adding, subtracting, dividing and multiplying of the 6 chosen numbers. each contestant takes a turn requesting how many small (1 - 10) and large (25, 50, 75, 100 unrepeated) numbers s/he would like.
sometimes people suggest alternate or missed solutions in the comments.
watch a couple times and you'll catch on.

what do you have to do here with this game?

[@RobertAPattison]

I scored 104

[@blinkybool]

(25x3x10)+(6x3)+(7+7)=782
