Round 2627 SAUDADE Results

[Tim Lodge]

Nearly all of you guessed that SAUDADE was the Portuguese/Brazilian longing or melancholy (Def 12), leaving me with a D8.  Johnny Barrs is our new dealer with 7* for his longing for an unattainable goal.  Mike Shefler is the lucky runner-up with 5* for his seasonal wind.

Back to you, Johnny.
