    Each sentence below emphasises a context of some kind. Your task is to find a THREE or FOUR letter word that defines the context of the sentence. This 3 or 4 letter word is hidden in the sentence as consecutive letters!

    1. Weak, pallid and sickly, the man wandered in the dark.
    2. The slender pointed part of the sentinels spear was blunt.
    3. The feathers of the chicken were tinted to look stylish and fashionable.
    4. His fraudulent actions were caught on the banks camera as he attempted to swindle the cashier.
    5. The socially inept person sat in the corner due to his dull, bookish character.
    6. No one believed after he explained the incident, because he was foolish and crazy.
    7. It was not smart to damage and impair the antique table.
    8. The herbal medicine was soothing and comforting on the wound.

        Tony….Iit seems I can’t catch you out!!! All three answers are correct!

        JezzaWoody… 1 is not correct. Although…could you explain your answer…I don’t know what DINT is??

        • #965640

          DINT… An impression or hollow in a surface More than likely not right but it is a nice word, which you won’t find in dictionery.com but the OED

    • #965635

      1. ill assuming the letters don’t have to be consecutive in any particular direction…

      • #965645

        Lyra….2 and 4 are correct! 1 is not correct! The words must be from left to right!

        Jerry….sould that not be DENT.??? Lyra put a sledge hammer to my car and DENTED it!!

        • #965646

          No Dint, DENT is the derivative

        • #965648

          1. sick

          • #966636

            Lyra, I will accept that as a alternative answer as I did spot that when I posted it.

            My answer was WAN, which also has to do with weakness, sickly etc

            Congrats!

      • #966635

        Jerry,
        The word will be found in the sentence as consecutive letters from left to right. HEMA is not in sentence 1.

        Perfect!!

        • #966682

          …and as you don’t seem to like post 508,893 another alternative is:

          9) Pale- A wooden stake used with others to form a fence

          • #966895

            Jerry…your attempts have not gone unnoticed.
            The problem lies with me. I have gone and misplaced my answer sheet…and the only answer that (Murphy’s law) eludes me is the answer to No. 9. For the life of me I cant recall the answer. Give me a day or two to locate the answer sheet and I will provide you some rest for your soul!!!
            It does not ring a bell that ARE or PALE are the correct answers! But then again…just maybe you are correct!!

            Cheers
