This was an annoying round in the sense that I am surprised how many
correctly guessed a 17th C farming term for hand making stooks from
scythed corn (our sense of corn) - so #11, the OED won with a D5

Mike Shefler, Efrem MallachÂ* both scored scoredÂ* 4 unnatural points and
Mike is is our next dealer on the rolling scores criterion/\ The real
winnerÂ* is of course Efrem: Chris Carson, Tim Lodge, Dave Cunningham,
Tony Abell each scored 3 pointsÂ* of which Tony's was natural - which
means that he garnered most votes (after the OED)

Over to you Mike

I never dreamed I guessed the correct answer. I thought it was #9, based on this: https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/outligger.



New word will have to wait until tomorrow. Got to leave now.
