Re: Round 2343 OPPIGNORATE Results

[Tim Lodge]

Judy Madnick took the lead early on in this round, and held on to it
until the end with a natural 5 points for her def No. 7 - speaking
grandiloquently. Chris Carson was the runner up, also with 5 points,
but 2 of his came from guessing the correct def. Millie Morgan, Dodi
Schultz, and Keith Hale also guessed correctly that OPPIGNORATE means
to pawn.

Over to you, Judy.
