I love this series of puzzles. Sometimes there are multiple answers, but that is part of the fun. I struggled with this one, eventually coming up with some answers.
2. warfare - reason - ongoing. Here figure was used as in 'figure it out'.
3. concordat - atypical - almost. Yeah, concordat is not a common word.
4. terrific - icicle - learned. About the same as the given answer.
Anyone else have ideas? Fun fun fun. Thanks TFF!
