Countdown Today

[elliemay1]

There's a brilliant contestant on Countdown this week. Today he's hoping to become an octo-champ. Worth a watch if you would like to learn some new words!

[cashier]

It's

[cashier]

Sorry - it's okay learning new words, it's remembering them that's my problem. He is very, very good. I did wonder if he has an eidetic memory.

I think he must have a photographic memory. The young man that became octo-champ a couple of weeks ago also impressed me

[barry1010]

eidetic - must remember that for my Scrabble games :D

[elliemay1]

He won and is now the No.1 seed.
He probably has a photographic memory aka eidetic!

[barry1010]

He obviously reads these words and not hears them because he often can't pronounce them.
Wish I could remember obscure words so easily, I'd trounce my Scrabble partners

[elliemay1]

I noticed that too barry. He also didn't know the meaning of one that he put forward

[barry1010]

I don't know the meaning of a lot of my Scrabble words :D
