Each clue uses a distinct letter from the pool. Identify the two words and the letter that was dropped.
Example: floor covering > insertion point mark = carpet > caret (P)
F

-4. vapor > plant part -5. wind instrument > string instrument (f) -6. abut > painful remark -7. animal skin disease > animal hair (m) -8. short role for a famous star > arrived -9. proverb > disfigure -10. approaching the afterlife > minor surface damage -11. serenity > tempo (p) -12. grumble > a port possibly -13. winter wear > wound evidence (s)

A lot of them solved now. I had the clues reversed in #5. I fixed it now. Added the first letter for the first answer word.

Good ones, Curly. 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".
