The 2-hour deadline extension produced three more defs, so we have
here a splendid list consiting of 17 definitions of the word ARGOLET.
Vote for TWO definitions, as a public forum message (in reply to this
one), before the deadline, which has to be rather a long one because
of my schedule:
16:30 BST on Monday 21st June, which is
15:30 UTC
17:30 CET
11:30 AM EDT
8:30 AM PDT and
02:30 on Tuesday morning in Melbourne.
New players are welcome, even if you didn't enter a definition this
round. Don't look in a dictionary. Full rules, if you're curious, are
