The hint is wrong for #10 - fun teaser though!!
You're right, xdbtcp!
Carelessness right at the very end! Hopefully it won't take too long to correct it. Meanwhile, I hope it doesn't spoil the enjoyment of pyramid building.
Yes, the "Hint" for #10 should be a "U".

I think I am getting too old for these as I had no idea what we were supposed to do. Even after reading the answer I still do not know what this one was about. Tomorrow is another day though.
Don't be too hard on yourself Babe. You are sharper at your age than a lot of people 1/3 your age.
We've all had teasers we had trouble with.
All you had to do, was start with a 1 letter word then with each step add a letter and rearrange them to fi the next vlue.
So you go from a 1 letter word to a rwo letter word to a three letter word and so on, up to the final 10 letter word.
You will do better tomorrow I'm sure.

I agree with HABS; keep trying Babe!
This one was very well done...I was stuck for a bit on Dewar

The only one I had trouble with was number 5. Never heard of Dewar - had to google it! Nice Teaser!
I got them all except for 5 and 6. I'd never heard of a dewar before.
Me three. Never heard of a dewar. Couldn't come up with anything to fit between draw and reward.
Fun, challenging and entertaining teaser; it took awhile but I got them all.
