OK ... as there are so many readers and writers here, we'll see if this is popular ...

I'll post a list of dictionary definitions and see if you can provide the word. I'll try to balance between making it too hard and making it interesting. I'll try and make it so that, even if you don't one right, you'll at least have heard the word before. For each quiz, all answers will begin with the same letter:

Wow ... I suddenly agree with Cfm that the list of six was better! OK, answers are:

1) Facetious 2) Fastidious 3) Febrile 4) Fedayee 5) Feint 6) Feral 7) Flag 8) Fletch 9) Forensic 10) Frugal

I think Cfm wins this one, as she got the most answers on her own.

Jstkdn: You got it right!
Envy: You were the only one to get facetious.
GKC: No one got fletch, but you put fledge, which means pretty much exactly the same thing.
