Good one, I learned a new word.
These are fun. I look forward to more of them. Thanks.
Yikes this was rough. I had to think about it for a long time. I did come to the right answer based on the first two clues, but I had not heard of the second two words.
I enjoyed struggling with this. I found it challenging and entertaining. Thanks!

I did not realize from the instructions that you were to use the same 3 letter word on all of them
I figured this teaser out, but had never heard of the word "apothem", and had to look it up to find that an apothem is a line drawn from the center of a polygon to one of its sides. I consider this word to be borderline obscure
More specifically, an apothem is a line drawn from the center of a polygon to one of the polygon's sides, that forms a 90° angle with that side.
Ditto with Babe on this one. After seeing answer ,I never would have gotten it anyway. I never heard of one word.
This one had a very "high" degree of difficulty
Enjoyed this very hard challenging teaser; I got it right though I never heard of the words "nepotic" or "apothem". Pot fit with the other two and the hint and was the best I was able to come up with.
Yes that was a toughie! But a good puzzle. Thanks for posting!
