-1.Crook seashore too deep. 4 words

-2.Many lies sound ghoulish. 4

-3.Head when swell so fails. 5

-4.Repair leaks tearing rifts. 4

-5.Walls fell at friends' yell. 5

-6.Wet seeping logs dry. 4

-7.Funny walks. 2

-8.Chased what hunt got. 4

9.Who has to could see fun die. 7

-10....and finally the title of this quiz:

9. Do as you would be done by. smile

This wording of the Golden Rule was new to me. I see from an internet search to confirm my guess that it's common but I just don't remember coming across it before. I always had it as, "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you."
