Should have stated that the word were the American spellings. I didn't get number 4 as we use "AGONISED" with an "S", not a "Z". Good teasers other than that.
eczema and bazaar were the only ones that i knew right off the bat... yay im the second one to leave a comment
It's ok, I use realised with an s not a z but that's just strange little moi
Got the first 2 but then stopped thinking. ( ? Why would I say ? Brainlessness is nothing to be ashamed of! Maybe it is then. )

I've always used 'realized' with a 's'. Great teaser!
Thanks guys. I appreciate your comments.
Good point about the 's' and the 'z'. [Previously, I have been criticised (criticized) for using the English version (s)].
