@LowdownCryptic hosted last week and here’s his summary of the results.

We had 18 clues and 20 voters this week. Madhup Tewari and Mona Sogal were the two voters who hadn’t entered.

Textrous was the first to submit a clue and was in the lead throughout the voting. This time, the hare managed to win the race!

1st place goes to Textrous with 30 points:
Hare sped off to take a leading position

2nd place goes to N Rengaswamy, just one point behind with 29:
He spared a wounded leader

In 3rd place with 18 points, it’s Satyen Nabar:
Leader spread hate, desperately wanting votes at Centre

In 4th place with 16 points, it’s Gayathri Viswanath:
Leader reshaped a criminal

And tied for 5th place with 15 points, it’s Venkatesan P and N Anantakrishnan:
That guy infiltrated parades deviously to be in the vanguard
Lead with Spade/ Heart perhaps – no trump basically

Congrats to all and over to you, Textrous!

SR: @LowdownCryptic – Thanks for the impeccable hosting and round-up, in spite of the time zone difference. Congrats Textrous. Your clue is now in our HALL OF FAME.
