Round 3653 - BARONDUKI Results
Tony Abell
I thought this word was a good choice because its definition sounds like it was made up by a bored and sarcastic Dixonary player. That didn’t fool John Barrs or Dan Widdis, who voted for it anyway, netting me a D2. The runaway winner and next dealer is Dan Widdis with a composite 8 points. Every definition but Tim Bourne’s romantic title got at least one vote. Nancy was the lucky runner-up with 3 points.
Take it away, Dan!
