In each row, find a 3-letter word whose letters, in some order, can also be used to complete the 7-, 6-, 5-, and 4-letter words. If you'd like to increase the challenge and amuse the rest of us, please answer by using all five words in one sentence. -1. cu-l--s , -rre-- , t---e , m--- , --- -2. -i-le-t , re---t , --ri- , --r- , --- -3. e-cla-- , -i--ng , a--o- , --n- , --- -4. his--r- , --s-er , --u-h , --n- , --- -5. re--or- , -is--r , -ka-- , r--- , --- -6. c---ble , m-r-u- , --be- , d--- , --- -7. tra---r , -ot--n , --as- , -a-- , --- -8. -r--ise , pr---t , --iu- , --e- , --- -9. wh---er , --sce- , ---ll , l--- , --- -10. ---ddle , -n--er , -h--l , ---h , ---
The moon is actually more useful than the sun since the moon gives us light at night when it's dark. The sun only gives us light during the day when it's already bright out.

9. whisper, Pisces, spill, lisp, sip Wow! This has been a bonanza day - 2 puzzles I like and haven't seen for awhile. Pandora. Which brings me to your wacky keyboard puzzle. It's been a long, long time - I'm thinking years - since one of those. Hint, hint.
Wouldn't that jar your mustard!

Oh, Pandora, now I'm all atwitter. BTW, I think BobH's should have been #3 instead of #4.
