The eight 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 envy of your friends by using all five clues and the answer in a suitable sentence.
-1. cat, lute, bra, bid, lad -2. fin, pane, her, ate, hid 3. toe, ant, mar, shop, mire -4. spit, opt, pal, tale, hob -5. oil, mid, foal, orb, ride -6. aged, far, ash, fit, site -7. mar, men, day, cur, dot -8. ace, man, ore, ian, port
To waste one second of one's life is a betrayal of one's self. I wonder what's on television...?

1. lubricated As I bid good morning to a lad playing a lute, a cat scurried by, slipped on the grass lubricated by dew, and got tangled in my bra hanging on the clothesline.
The best math you can learn is how to calculate the future cost of current decisions.
