The five clue words are derived from an answer word that’s made up of at least eight letters, none of which is repeated. The letters of each clue word appear in the answer word in left-to-right order, though, not necessarily consecutively. For example: the letters in Colt can be found in Complexity, as can the letters in Comply, Exit, Met and Pity. Every letter of the answer appears at least once in the clue words, and one clue word in each set appears in the answer intact (Exit in the example).
As has become traditional, win bonus points and the admiration of your peers for using all five clues and the answer in a suitable sentence.
-1. oat may fry lit rat
-2. nab use cram sale cab
-3. die bar ale ado and
-4. per herb eli yeo hic
-5. our sag die cog ire
-6. lad phi par her lane
-7. love sir ice lip per
-8. top shy gray ten nap
-9. den aim bit age rid
-10. let lac ear tic hag
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.

10. lethargic  Oops, I forgot to use the words in a sentence: The lac insect became lethargic when the hag let a tic crawl in its ear.

The best math you can learn is how to calculate the future cost of current decisions.

As I've grown older, I've found that my memory is not as good as I used to think it was.

9. abridgment At my AGE it made me a BIT uneasy, as I sat in my DEN, that I couldn't RID myself of this fleeting feeling that my life's AIM was such a short ABRIDGMENT.

Hi again 3. bandolier There was much ADO in the BAR when I slammed down my ALE, grabbed my BANDOLIER then fell to the ground AND looked as though I was going to DIE. I should really stick to the sarsaparilla!
