It appears that Wayne HAS posted a word. I don't know, Fran. The rules say
only that if the person who should be the next dealer hasn't announced a
new word after a full 24 hours, the next in line (that's you) is the
dealer.
Wayne posted a word around 40 hours after the end of the last round--and of
course meanwhile, you had posted one (well, two, in fact!).
I guess Wayne never saw your word; don't know why!
I don't recall this ever coming up since I've been playing. Maybe somebody
who's been in the game longer can say what happens in such a case.
My own judgment (if that somehow counts since I was the last dealer) is
that, Wayne having defaulted, and you having become the dealer by
announcing a new word--you are in fact the dealer and Wayne should reserve
his word and we are all honor-bound (or, as the case may be with some of
us, honour-bound) not to look it up, so he can use it next time he's the
dealer.
But let's see what the group thinks.
Now, I gotta go watch "Jeopardy".
