Two players finished in a tie for the lead but Dave Cunningham's natural 6
for his weasel keeper and his position near the top of the leader board
give him the deal. Lucky runner up is Tony Abell with his unnatural six
for the cloth cutter.

Real def, spotted by five astute players was the money changer (#6). Not
bad for a second word, grabbed quickly from the ether (all right, the OED),
and not nearly as bad as my record D11 for wapentake. (See, Tony, you
didn't set the record. Doesn't this finish make up for your D9, besides?)

Take it away, Dave!
