So yes, the word was finalist.
This is how it all played out.
I sent the list to superman11 at 19:06:59. However, he had the hardest time finding the L and the second I. After several pleas, I narrowed down the number of remaining names to ten (I took out the six he had already found and four false paths). He then quickly found the other two letters. When he PMed me with his final answers, the time was 20:24:05. It took him 1 hour, 17 minutes and 6 seconds.
Shortly before I got the final PM from superman, I got a notification from CrazyOne stating that he was ready. So, I sent him the list at 20:22:53. When I received a PM from him in response, it was 20:42:52. He had found all eight letters and got the hidden word. His total time: 19 minutes, 59 seconds.
Therefore, the winner of this match and the second finalist of The Tengaged Tournament is CrazyOne! Congratulations!
superman11, you did incredibly well. Be proud of yourself for making it as far as you did.
Congrats again, CrazyOne! See you in the finals!
