<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">was victorious</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for won that I've seen before include "Succeeded, conquered" , "Gained a victory" , "and 26: Chinese dumpling" , "Came first" , "Korean currency, was victorious" .)
