RE: [Dixonary] CWM 1631 Results!!
Out of curiosity -- according to http://www.acronymfinder.com there are no fewer than 21 results for "CWM." I've often worried that a word I might choose as dealer (ancient history at this point -- LOL!) could have definitions besides the one I might be using. Is that a problem?

Only the def submitted by the dealer is the "correct" one for scoring ... though I was astounded when, after voting and looking up the word, the dealer's def was not the one from the AHD at all :(

Re: [Dixonary] CWM 1631 Results!!
Yes, it is.
That is why I generally cross-check against a range of dictionaries to make sure that I don't do this accidentally. It's a bit of a dilemma when you put up sense A and a player confidently and correctly DQs on sense B, which is the only sense given in some other dictionary. It gets even worse when another player concocts a phoney def close to sense B.
