UPDATED DEADLINE: ROUND 3661 - BAYADERE - VOTE NOW!

[Judy Madnick]

i'm going to have to update the deadline to 12 n., WEDNESDAY, JULY 1, 2026 (not 2025, as shown below!). I'm having an eye injection on Tuesday afternoon, which results in a very irritated eye, making computer work impossible. In addition, we have a medical appointment Wednesday morning. I apologize for the extended deadline.

 

Here are 12 definitions for the word BAYADERE shared exactly as I received them, but only one is correct. Please send your votes by responding to the Dixonary group with what you believe are two definitions most likely to have come from a dictionary before the deadline, which is TUESDAY, JUNE 30, 2025, 2026 (edited) at 7 P.m. Eastern Time or the corresponding time where you live! https://www.timeanddate.com Any misspellings, weird spacing, etc., are my fault and not an indication of the accuracy of a particular definition.

Good luck!
