Each set of five words below was gathered from different meanings of a single word in my dictionary. For example, “hook,” “bud,” “cyclone,” “needle,” and “cornea” all appear among the definitions for the word “eye.” From what words’ definitions have the following groups been collected?
-1. limit, leap, sworn, destined, shackled 2. funding, affirm, hold, livelihood, bolster -3. squeeze, weightlift, entreat, wardrobe, iron -4. curry, dress, stableboy, nearlywed, train -5. messenger, leaf, call, circular, site -6. collide, protrusion, demote, chance, dislodge -7. fish, slant, viewpoint, bend, approach -8. foundation, home, alkali, stem, lowly -9. sack, provoke, discharge, ardor, burn -10. stall, pedestal, endure, rack, tree
If you spell the words "absolutely nothing" backwards, you get "Gnihton yletulosba", which ironically means absolutely nothing.

Sorry Jimbo, try again.  manxie, good one!  curly, hmmmm. If I were to read the definitions of "page" would I see the word "news"? No, not as a stand-alone word.
