A tough game again with great participation in both clueing and voting. We received 35 entries from 25 setters in all ( maybe the best participation in the last 6 months ) .The quality and variety of the clues was so good that a number of clues that didn’t make the shortlist received votes too.
Anagrams were the most popular choice followed by container clues. Charades , CDs , DDs , acrostics and telescopic clues added to the variety . Special mention goes here to Hari’s HP clue ( the only one in this game )!
We received 36 votes ( again a record !! ). Thanks for the great participation!

The bronze goes to Ramki’s weightlifting clue ! We have a tie for the first place between Sridhar’s charade and Faten’s CD . Sowmya broke the tie and chose the CD ( it wins by a whisker – her exact words ) . Sridhar gets second place and Faten first place!
