The winner of round 2799 is Chris Carson, whose definition "To move in a tossing, bubbling, or rippling manner, as choppy water" received 3 votes, plus 2 points for guessing the correct def.



There were 3 players in coveted second place with 3 points each: Tony Abell, John Barrs and Nancy Shepherdson.



The true definition was 6: "To feed a child", which 3 perceptive players guessed.

[Dixonary] Round 2799: FAMPLE Results
 
Ouch! Who knew. I may not be able to get a new word posted until tomorrow morning. I'm just wrapping up getting a new computer configured, software installed, and running after the old one died. Interesting that Windows Defender and Norton both considered the Cory install executable to be malware and very protectively deleted it. After jumping through multiple hoops I managed to get Cory installed so we'll see if it's actually going to work.

Anyway, a new word will make an appearance in the morning.
