So very very close! exceptional/exceptionable?exceptionable/exceptional?Yes! And Athena takes it! But since you both got part of it, you both get some credit! Yea, one more down! (Edit for: my dyslexia even had ME confused, sorry!! ) elected/selected Unfortunately, yet again not it. Although you might be moving more towards the general idea of one of the words ... All right, everybody who's still playing, #14 is the LAST ONE folks!! To remind you, here it is: 14. The ______ booby was unfortunately the ______ representative for the delegation.
