Blast. I can't count. :( winery and pinery both have the same number
of letters correct: 4, not the previously reported 5. I'm sorry.
So:
strain 0 (aruba)
forgot 0 (prp)
winery 4 (kentn)
pinery 4 (aruba) (A place where pineapples are grown)

I'm afraid the scores so far are inconsistent, Joe. Could you check them
over? One of these has to be wrong:
banana 1 (aruba)
streak 1 (albaugh)
strain 0 (aruba)
winery 4 (kentn)
pinery 4 (aruba) (A place where pineapples are grown)
diners 3 (kentn)
ornery 3 (aruba)
finely 3 (kentn)
bidery 4 (aruba) (A metal alloy)

Shoot. Banana was scored incorrectly. Kent sent me a pointer to some
software to automate the scoring; I'll make sure to use it next time.
Here is the current list:
unease 0 (kentn)
banana 0 (aruba)
streak 1 (albaugh)
strain 0 (aruba)
forgot 0 (prp)
winery 4 (kentn)
pinery 4 (aruba)
diners 3 (kentn)
ornery 3 (aruba)
finely 3 (kentn)
bidery 4 (aruba)
