[Dixonary] Rd. 3052 -- Results for froe

A very lopsided round, although I feel comforted that only 3 perceptive
players ferreted out the real definition of froe: the strangely-shaped ax.

The real news is that two players tied with an unnatural 7: Tim Bourne with
his eely dish and Steve Dixon with his "two fists." Tim is ahead in the
rolling scores, though, and so takes away the deal. Congratulations to
real winner Steve Dixon.

Time to greet the day on a cloudy Monday morning in the UK and take it
away, Tim!
