Default [Dixonary] Round 2844 - CURCULIO - Results

This was a close round, with four players tied on 3 points each. The real winner is Nancy with her
ceiling medallion, and the deal goes to Mike Shefler with 5 natural points for his horn tuner.

The real definition was the weevil, which I encountered in a description of an eighteenth century
kitchen garden. I'm rather pleased with a D1 and no DQs.
