Bailey Cowell

Bailey Cowell How are we meant to know hebrew words - or are we meant to basically guess in this game?

Piaras Last-Name

Piaras Last-Name For me, the foreign languages variants involve a lot of educated guesswork. One thing I do for the non-Latin ones is research each letter's sound and what words tend to be like (for want of a better word. Basically, are there a lot of... softer-sounding words like Spanish or harder words like German).

Adam Dexter

Adam Dexter You could take the hardcore route and learn by immersion technique in Israel, but you only have a few days so would suggest booking that ticket soon

Andy SC

Andy SC Alternatively, give Tal your log in details but I would not condone that :)

Elwin Carlos

Elwin Carlos I did a practice round where I experimented with two /three letter words containing frequently appearing letters, memorised a handful of words that were valid, and just prayed they showed up in the real thing!

Roger Peak

Roger Peak I reiterate what Elwin has just said plus take a look at some old games to see what people use frequently. Good luck!

Martyn Pegram

Martyn Pegram Surely the foreign letters rounds are a bit of an equaliser?
If every round was just 'standard' Countdown, then the pool of potential winners gets much smaller.
At least this gives us a chance to see one of the 'big guns' go out.
Plus it adds variety to the competition that you voluntarily entered. There's more than enough choice of the more traditional games if you prefer.

Martin Hurst

Martin Hurst Squiggly n and backwards c were in many words I learned, then I quickly realised there are about 5 different squiggly n's and 3 different backward c's.

Andy SC

Andy SC That concludes Round 21.

Strongest Link title for this round goes to Martin Thomas with a score of 67.

How many Get Out of Jail Free cards can one player get? That's exactly what Robin has got for the second time in this tournament. This time it's thanks to a no-play from Bailey Cowell thus meaning he a the weakest link. Thanks for playing, Bailey.

Robin M

Robin M Is there a get out of jail card on a stick prize at the end?
