The selected word seemed a bit too easy this time, with 4 DQs and a slew of
correct guesses. There were only 3 DQs when the votes were called for; and
I elected to let that slide rather than select a substitute word. An
additional DQ, however, checked in after the defs were posted. Had there been 4
in the first place, perhaps I would have elected to change to a substitute.

But what's done is done, and next time (if ever) I should happen to be
dealer, I'll try for a word that's more difficult or sneaky, or both.


As it turned out, Da Winnah and next dealer is Mike Shefler with 6
unnatural points.
