Surprisingly -- to me -- five players selected/guessed the definition I had used for RUCK, a word that has several different and distinct meanings, according to my M-W.
Nevertheless, Jim Hart took the cupcake again with a total score of 6. Mike Shefler was the "real" winner with 5 points.
Take it away, Jim. And good luck.
