9. What Massachusetts woman was accused of killing her parents with an axe?

10. Which organisation was founded in 1897 as the Automobile Club of Great Britain?

Your challenge today is to come up with words which begin with D and end with H and which have the number of letters indicated below. I have found 18 that I am familiar with. You can guess at any number of words of the required number of letters but you have to get the 18 I had in mind. No proper nouns or words that are always hyphenated; apart from that, provided your word can be found in an Online English Dictionary it will count. No use of reference material or the internet of course to ensure fair play. PM me your guesses by 5am tomorrow. Good luck.


REMEMBER - NO POSTS instead you PM me with your guesses any time up to 5AM tomorrow. If possible, please wait until you've completed all the guesses you want to make to avoid too many PMs and to make my job easier. So no hurry and it doesn't matter when you submit the answers because I'll be judging them solely on who has the most correct - and in the event of two or more being level it will be a tie. I hope this is clear and good luck. Tomorrow I’ll post the names of the top entries.


1. 7 letters (6)

2. 8 letters (7)

3. 9 letters (2)

4. 11 letters (2)

5. 12 letters (1)

The clues below are each to a city (in the general sense of the word) whose name ends with T. How many can you guess? You have to get the answer I had in mind should there be more than one possible valid answer. No use of reference material or the internet of course to ensure fair play. Good luck.
