RE: [Dixonary] Round 3079 DIMBER Results
amal...@comcast.net
All – Here are the results for Round 3079 DIMBER. #5 was somewhat close to the dictionary definition, but I used my judgment and decided it was different enough to let things stand. Defs by Johnny Barrs, Christopher Carson, and Tony Abell all got 4 votes, but Johnny was the only one to also guess the correct definition, so he is Da Winnah with 6 votes. Congratulations!
Please let me know if anything in the list or table below appears to be in error.
Best,
Alan
