Puzzle from May 2002 Mensagenda
Donna's Diary
by Donna Myhrer
A Tricky Quiz
The other day I was paging through the dictionary for fun (and who but Mensans ever do that?) and I picked out a few words and their definitions to tease you all with. Following are 23 definitions of different words from my dictionary. Each of the words begins with a different letter of the alphabet, between A and W inclusive (that means there are no words that begin with X, Y or Z in the answers). I will also give the number of letters in the word in parentheses after the definition. All of the words have a certain similarity of meaning in common. Have fun! The answers are here.
1. To attract, tempt, entice (4)
2. A sly trick or strategem (4)
3. To put or keep out of sight; to conceal (4)
4. A joke or trick (4)
5. Indefinite in form or shape (5)
6. A false show, pretense (5)
7. A thing or person used to lure into danger (5)
8. To frustrate by puzzling; to confound (6)
9. Something known only to some and not to others (6)
10. A puzzling question requiring some ingenuity to answer (6)
11. To perplex or bewilder (6)
12. A riddle (6)
13. Not discovered or identified (7)
14. Something unexplained, unknown or kept secret (7)
15. Any trickery or deceptive device (7)
16. To keep secret (7)
17. Rascality; dishonesty (7)
18. A secret or mystery (7)
19. Vague, indefinite (8)
20. A state of perplexity; dilemma (8)
21. A false idea or conception (8)
22. Not straightforward; devious (8)
23. To confuse or bewilder (9)
