As all who submitted definitions have voted, I'm taking the opportunity to post the results a few
minutes early.
This was a quiet round, with the dictionary taking an early lead and staying well in front. Given
that, I was rather surprised and pleased to have no DQs.
The next deal goes to Dan Widdis with 5 unnatural points for his fire bowl. The real winners are
Efrem Mallach, Shani Naylor, Mike Shefler and Johnny Barrs, all with 4 points, though Efrem has an
edge in that all his points were natural.
