In round 2885, Tim Lodge earned top spot with 5 points for his definition "steel scrap or direct
reduced iron added to the furnace in some steelmaking processes", and Chris Carson and Dan Widdis
are joint runners-up and true winners with 4 points each.

The true definition was 6: "a wheeled conveyance for moving heavy logs", which 7 perceptive players
guessed - not my best score!

Ryan McGill gets 2 dealer points for a definition that was lost in the ether.

Tim,

I didn't check anyone else's score but mine technically was 3 (1 vote +
2 for guessing the right def)

FYI def 14 wasn't invented except as a def for jinker: it is the def for
a jangalo

Sorry! The table was correct, but I seem to have slipped up in transferring the scores to the wordy
format.

Best wishes,
Tim.
