But I can't come up with it. Thinking out loud (in my head, of course--it's past midnight!)

:P

9. 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! :rolleyes:

6 Remaining!

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!

For #1 they could be reffering to any type of balance.

Balance: scale

Balance: stasis

Balance: poise

Balance: perch

Balance: remainder

Balance: compare

Balance: steady

Balance: harmony

Hmm... I have to go. 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... It doesn't have to be a mallard ;)
