Let's Hear it for Mr. Swifty! (hints for the straggler)

More Tom Swifties. (For example "I'll have a martini," said Tom, drily.) As ever, grovelling apologies for any re-runs.

Some of these are very clever and quite tough, so being all heart, I've given you first letter and length as a starter ·

Hints for the last one:

- "shanty" does not refer to a hut - look up a nautical definition
- what do you do with shanties?
- and where would it be done?
- and the second letter in "n"

2. nicely

11. piously?

9.Dismay

Bernie

1. begrudgingly

.. and another five to follow then!

Good call, Bob!

Hint for the last one added to first post...

3. unrepentant

not that .. how about unmelodious

Nope!

There are 4 syllables: "un", one referring to where you would find a shanty, one referring to what you would do with it, and "ly"

How about unutterably .. the seaman would utter it

3. unceasingly

ohhhhh, I like your solution too Manxman

3. unmusically?

manxman gets the cigar!
