In round 1655, 2 players tied for first with 7 points, Wayne Scott and Dan Widdis. Wayne's 7 was a natural, though so he "wins" the deal and Dan is the real winner.
Guerri Stevens has a very nice runner up score with 5 points.
Three of you picked the combined real definition, number 12,: "A dense growth of bushes; a thicket, esp. a thorny thicket of wild-plum bushes [Fr 'quetsch' plum]." Johnny submitted a very similar def that added the plum reference so your Dealah decided to combine them by adding the wild plum bushes to the OED version.
The complete results and summary follow. Take it away Wayne.
