Four entries now. An improvement, but still woefully short.

Member The trouble is that the one I like most is the one I submitted.
As I don't want to go for that I'll go for one where I can't see any apparent attempts at misdirection. I'll try 5.

It is one who deserves to be hanged by an anti-clockwise-wound rope for the crime of purposely murdering a happy menopausal widow while in a state of God-like paranoia in the woods. I'll try eight.
Member 4 also for me...but, Asa, you cracked me up!
Member OK, I'll take a contrary tack and go with #1. WM
Member Everyone who submitted an daffynition seemed to have voted, so without further ado, here are the answers:
traveling in an anticlockwise direction or demonstrating an anticlockwise motion Bob's suggestion; fooled wordmatic having completed the childbearing years, i.e. menopausal From bethree5; no luck a poor widow, to be pitied A poor thing, but mine own; so poor that no-one bit. God-like Asa promulgated this and bethree5 and Kalleh followed. Frivolous and lighthearted; flighty. Kalleh's entry which amused Bob. wooded (OE) Another from bethree5 which fooled no-one. one who deserves hanging, a gallows-bird; a scamp, rascal The real thing. See http://home.comcast.net/~wwftd/uvwxyz.htm#widdiful purposeful (from Welsh, wydd) A third attempt from bethree5 - hooking Asa full of amazement. wordmatic tried to amaze, but failed.

THREE daffynitions from Bethree5? Where's that rope!
Member Great word, Arnie, and you fooled us all! That was the one definition that I
knew it wouldn't be
.
Member Now that you tell us, I can think of a lot of widdiful characters. The beauty is, you can say, "He's a truly widdiful person," and no one will ever know you're suggesting execution! Wordmatic
