Yes to 1. Yet another alternative to 2. Think 3. and 4. are a little of a stretch on the synonyms side. No to 5. I really like 6. Similar in a way but different than mine and perfectly valid. Yes to 7. Yet another alternative for 8. And I think there are better ones for the rest. Good stuff, onetruth

Spoiler for Update

1. more reason - addition (or increase) deduction by fabpig

2. relaxed scene - calm storm by fabpig and rest act by Molly Mae and softened set by onetruth and _____

3. remains true - left right - by Thalia

4. stops payment - halts advances and withdrawals deposits- by Thalia and _____

5. high chair - extreme moderate by Mollie Mae

6. common sale - accepted discounted by onetruth and _____

7. subject closed - open shut - by mojobrain

8. general demand - approximate exact by t_mo and DudleyDude and vague direct by onetruth

9. deliberately starve - slow fast by DudleyDude

10. current approach

11. still tacky - quiet loud - by EDM

12. elementary compound - basic complex - by Thalia

Molly Mae had half of 2. and EDM just about half of 10. Noone's gotten 6. which I thought would be one of the easier ones.

[fabpig]

Yep, hats off to ot for that after we've been stumbling round (ok.... I've been stumbling round!) for what seems like a decade...

Think I might finally have hit on the one u didnt have an answer for

Spoiler for #10

going/ coming

[plainglazed]

yes indeed, fabpig, that's what I intended for 10. and that gives an answer for all of them. gonna call it a decade
