This was a neat and compact round!
Millie Morgan scored 7 and is our next dealer The real winner is Judy
Madnick with 5 points - The correct answer was #3 "guilessness" and earned
a D2 but may I ask what is odd with that spelling which alerted Dave?- is
this another English-American different spelling?
Take it away Millie
