Subject: [Dixonary] Round 2708, DIDAPPER: Results
And the winner is: The American Heritage Dictionary. Five of you voted for its definition, #12, guessing that a didapper is a little grebe.
The next highest score is a natural three, achieved by three players: Tim Lodge, Judy Madnick, and Mike Shefler. Mike's ranking ahead of the others in the rolling scores makes him our next dealer.
Full details below.
