Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

Good ones, Curly. grin I was giving you the starting letter of the first word.

I did however, have "F" as the dropped letter in two of the clues. So, the last one also drops an "F".
