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 , ---

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.
