This seemed to be an unusually smooth running round with Coryphæus performing flawlessly and your dealah managing to avoid any disastrous goofs.
Our new dealer is Tony Abell, who submitted definition 3, which racked up an impressive natural 8 .
John Barrs is the "real winnah" with 5 points and Kathryn Lance is runner-up with 4 points.
Three of you managed to ferret out the true definition # 12: "A savory snack." (OED 2nd Edition), leaving
me with a D3.
