View Full Version : [Dixonary] Round 2639 MINOVERY Results


Tim Lodge
September 4th, 2015, 12:47 PM
We've got a two-way tie with 6 points each for Tony Abell (Def 3 - the
concealed closet) and Shani Naylor (Def 17 - the relaxed monastery
apartment). Tony is ahead of Shani in the 5-round rolling scores including
this round, so he takes the honour of the next deal, leaving Shani as the
real winner.

None of you guessed that MINOVERY is a legal term for a device or system
for poaching game (Def 6). The OED says it's apparently a variant or
altered form of MANOEUVRE.

Over to you, Tony!
