Letter Juggle 6

| That was a good one. I did get them all without need for the hint, so I guess it was on the easy side. But I enjoyed it. Thanks  |

| I got them all and had fun doing it.
I was a little puzzled by the last one--not so sure one could call them even "near synonyms", but those were the only words I could think of, and when I looked at the hint I was pretty sure I was right.
Thanks for another fun teaser!  |
