Another classic game, only resolved by a second conundrum. Along with last week's Game of the Week, this match holds the record for the highest ever losing score. Unlike that game, at least the loser of this match had already been an Octochamp and been a defeated semi-finalist in the previous series (won by none other than Tony Vick!). Interestingly(?), rounds 2 and 5 share seven of the same letters, making it possible to make 'snowier' in both rounds.
