He who steals a book - Spoiler for he who steals"=: Robber Pirate Lifter Thief Con Taker Snatcher Grabber Burglar Fraud (and many more, I'm sure) What other related words would rhyme with a synonym for book?? I'm sure it's going to be a head-slapper when I see the answer; and that anticipation is driving me nuts. Unfortunately, that isn't much of a drive as I feel I'm nearly there already!

Salt Malt was a good answer, and though I did not mention it in the initial rules, the OP will not share a word with the answer. -Also, I thought I had changed #9 before I posted... guess not. Change think of it as "He who steals a magazine" Great job so far! Don't forget that RhymeTime#2 still has an answer missing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be back No kidding, that's what makes it difficult. The multiple definitions are only going to confuse you. Btw, Good job with the thesaurus. <_< EDIT: ktwordplayer you got #7, nice one. I'll give some consideration to your #11 answer also. It's not what I was looking for but it just works so well . Hint for #11...
