Historical periods: "Past-" could work for both that clue and for the three letter addition.

Innocent is not a plea, it is a verdict. One pleads guilty, not guilty, or no contest.

Clever sprout, but I felt like the quiz irself didn't quite work as well as the concept did. I'd delete all the hyphens (I don't think they really add anything, and I find them distracting). It's interesting that some words can work for more than one ending (I tried ity for real and got it by accident) - this is hard to avoid but a little detrimental - And I agree that the clue for plea is a bit off; as a lawyer, after verdict didn't work I was confused. Most of the endings I was able to get after one clue - I'd like to see a sequel where the word endings were a little less common and perhaps harder to pick. Still great work though.

@amwoods13 - "innocent" isn't a verdict, either. A verdict is either guilty or not guilty.

@RS89 Definitions of erasure on the Web: a correction made by erasing; "there were many erasures in the typescript" a surface area where something has been erased; "another word had been written over the erasure" expunction: deletion by an act of expunging or erasing

I don't get the "deb" one. Not sure what that means. But as usual, awesome!

@SaraTheBrave: "Deb" is the shortened form for both "Deborah" (a girl's name) and "debutante" (a girl making her debut to society, usually by way of a fancy ball). Lots of crossword puzzle standards here... Five globes!

Really enjoyed it. Took me a while to figure out what you were looking for, and the ones I missed had pronunciation issues like girl having a ball + tor. I tried lipi, jani, and fac. Really loved this one.

@BrokenBamahut A few weird vague ones kinda spoiled it? What do you mean? Which clues are weird or vague or have problems? Dissing the clues but not providing any substantive feedback means I cannot make any changes or improve things. However, all of the clues went through a lot of editing and are standard crossword-style clues.

@redsxfenway: Indeed, I actually guessed "man" for that clue as a joke, and ended up getting credit for a clue in the next column. (Also, after I got "real-", I guessed "ity" for the ending, which was correct for another column.)

I enjoy "crossword" clues from time to time. It reminds of a game I used to play before Sporcle. Thanks.

Liked it a lot, especially how the words change their context with the ending (which is why I discarded "-ity" for "real" immediately, after all it would be easy to just make four adjective clues and add "-ity" to make them nouns or suchlike). Interestingly, while I did not get all and often only one (non native speaker, me), the endings immediately seemed obvious (okay, seemed probable and turned out to be right), which at least for me made it even more fun.

A van is not really a "large passenger auto" in the UK. Usually it's a tradesman's or goods delivery vehicle.

I'm not a big fan of Sten-...both the root and new word seem pretty uncommon. I'm ok with one side being tough (like the wine clue or the girl with ball clue), but it's rough with both being less known words. I would've liked to see opera- in that column instead. Great quiz regardless.

@jkoper I couldn't use opera/operator because they both come from the same original root word. All of the short forms and long forms in this quiz are etymologically unrelated. Otherwise, it isn't as elegant. For example, real + tor = cool. Real + ity = just adding an ending to a word and making another form of it.

A little harder than I expected. I've never heard of a celtic in that context before, only in reference to Scots / Irish people. It can be my something new I've learned today.

All I could think of for the circle clue was "semi". It made sense to me. Now I'm beating myself up over "arc".

Was hoping to see indent- or advent- for -ure. Also too much time: I spent over 4 minutes with 5 to go.
