Default [Dixonary] Round 3044 SPARSILE Results

Four of you homed in on the true defination of SPARSILE, of a star not in a
constellation, putting the Oxford English Dictionary clear ahead.
Unfortunately, the dictionary is not available to deal, so that honour
falls to either Judy Madnick or Shani Naylor, both of whom scored 4
including 2 points for guessing correctly. Shani is ahead in the rolling
scores, so she takes the next deal.

Over to you, Shani!
