Helen Gipson (Sco) wins a decisive game 462-328 to take the King's Cup trophy and its $10,000 top prize. Congratulations, Helen!

Helen drew a blank for her third rack, but hand DEViLRY/WINZED* challenged off. It took her three more turns to use it with COLTERs, followed immediately by OMNIFIES (its anagram was also playable), and three more turns later her third bingo NOILIEST.

Thacha bingoed once with TRANNIE, drawing the second blank on his sixth turn, but was unable to play it, missing two opportunities to do so with the tricky DIGYNOUS# and TYPEBARS.
