Hate those -'s; so yer getting word length and 1st letter!
-1: "I need to stay in shape" Tom said (10i)
-2: "Wonder when Maurice got up" Tom said (8m)
-3: "We need to count the number of guys" Tom said (8m)
-4: "I can't find my wooden rod" Tom said (10m)
-5: "Hey, we guys are getting 100%" Tom said (10m)
-6: "Well, Babe is no longer with us" Tom said (10r)
-7: "We need more than 2 referees" Tom said (12t)
8: "I should make my bets more secure" Tom said (8e)
Think "hedging your bets"; ed------
9: "Gotta enter my answer" Tom said (12s)
Think "posting a reply"; su----------
-10: "Just met a French Borris" Tom said (10u)
-Bonus: " " Tom said (10w)

Any chance of an extra 3 letters for number 10 Denis, or is ten letters the limit?
To waste one second of one's life is a betrayal of one's self.
I wonder what's on television...?

unGENTLEMANly ?  Or have you got a warrant for my arrest: unwarrantably! Mine has 10, but I'd like to see your 13.

Those last two are a bit of a stretch, as I believe that neither properly exists as an adverb (although some internet definitions suggest otherwise): the closest you could get would probably be edgily and submissively.

I also found them, but I do not believe that submitting or edging are bona fide adjectives, so that I do not see how they can be converted into adverbs. The internet is not always great on grammatical precision. Of course 9 could have been "Tom submitted."
