FALTER
FIVERS
6*(50+100+4)-3=921
HASSLE
EXPOSE
4*(75+10)+2=342
SCORED and presume UNSCORED is not valid?
8*25-5-6=189
x wasted time on -ING. Hard for me to see this one.

UNSCORED is listed in the block entries, so it's not clear whether they mean the sense of "unscored points" or "unscored paper". Regardless, it would have been acceptable. Also, good work on the numbers today.

1. LIBRATE (CITABLE, FIBRATE... I missed ARTICLE)
2. PROVISO
3. 921 = 6*(100 + 50 + 4) - 3
4. SENSUAL
5. POETISE (a bit lucky for me -- I almost declared EXPOSIT, but that is not listed; found EPOXIES and POXIEST* after time)
6. 342 = (10 + 7 + 2)*(75/3 - 7)
7. INSOURCED
8. 189 = 8*25 - 6 - 5
9. [N/A -- chosen, but the answer is NOSTALGIA]
