Countdown!

[rfr10]

Since this proved popular to some people in the past, I thought I'd creat a one off game of countdown, including a letters game, numbers game and a countdown conundrum. So here goes.. instructions first!..

1. Find the biggest word possible from the letters game

2. See if you can figure out the working for the numbers game to achieve the target number

3. Finally, solve the countdown conundrum

SEND ALL ANSWERS VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE TO ME. I'LL CHECK THE ANSWERS AND REPORT BACK HERE WHO THE WINNER IS.

Scoring information is at the bottom of each game.

PLEASE DON'T CHEAT! :)

Cheers for that. Thanks for accepting my apology and I think it will be safer if I stay away from games as I obviously have a problem reading instructions!

I'm one of those people who never read instruction manuals!!!
