0 Guest Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 (edited) that was a great guess, but remember that the first letter for #8 has to be "E" since Andromeda confirmed that #7 was EXPENDABLE enliven Edited October 2, 2008 by puzzlegirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Im thinking maybe 8 is enthused and 9 is decorator therefore we have: 1. sacrament 2. tantrum 3. miscellaneous 4. scaffolding 5. genetics 6. sabotage 7. expendable 8. enthused 9. decorator Therefore the lock is raconteur - the first letters of each of the three letter words.

If your guess for #9 is correct, you need to make it plural so that it locks with the first letter of #1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 andromeda Posted October 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 THE SOLUTION IS: 1. sacrament 2. tantrum 3. miscellaneous 4. scaffolding 5. genetics 6. sabotage 7. expendable 8. enthused 9. decorators (Lock) Hidden word - RACONTEUR - One who tells stories and anecdotes with skill and wit.
