"Your search for 'tortured' returned 1 results." (over the last 1 year in Wordplay and fun)
edit: i.e., the search turned up your post, only.

I can keep track, but I didn't do like tsuwm and cheat and all.... he he... they just looked all too familiar to me, and I looked back a couple of pages, and sure 'nuf, they were there. I don't have any recollection of "tortured", though. tsuwm confirms that... thanks! :0)

Indeed REDOUBLE is what I had in mind, but 'tis
not the only possibility so we're now working on
