***  Season 73:  Wk 11 of 25 – January 15, 2019  ***

A new Puzzle of the Week (POW) appears at the bottom of this page

The spirit of South Pacific pervaded the Club this week…or at least one of its songs did.  Dahlia’s opponent revealed himself as “simply a cockeyed optimist” — challenging each of her four bingos, despite losing every challenge.  She was certain about OUTBRAVE, OVERMUCH and RIVETTED.  RESALUTE was a calculated risk.  Her luckless opponent read it as a misspelling of determined, rather than repeating a gesture of respect, and issued his challenge…   § The dictionary is generally discerning about RE- as a prefix, and generally hands it out judiciously.  RESALUTE may be among the exceptions, along with REEARN and, worse still, REREPEAT….
