Lots of firsts in this game ! Extra time for setting and voting ! 3 Admins in the Top 5 and one setter with 2 clues in the top 3. Sowmya gets the silver with Heidi walking away with the first and third place clues.Her clue on working in retirement seems to have touched many voters but her lovely take on someone lying about their single status was a runaway winner and her clue on working in retirement too seemed to have touched many voters. This clue is now in our 1ACCWC Hall of Fame.
Congratulations to all those who made the shortlist and Heidi and Sowmya for making the podium.
Thanks to our host Viresh and all members who participated and voted with great enthusiasm.
