Lily Geller hosted this week and Here’s her summary of the results..
We had an impressive batch of clues for this week’s contest. Congrats to our winners!
With a whopping 60 points, first place goes to Madhusudan H with an acrostic that reads as smoothly as a newspaper headline:

In second, with 42 points, is Yossi Fendel’s concise clue which also has the distinction of being the shortest contest entry this week:
Abridge?! (8)
Third place goes to Mani Kadayam with 23 points:
Shrink to get in touch about core therapy (8)
Sharing 21 points and rounding out the top five are Debasmita Basu:
