leed- a cauldron or copper kettle (attempted as a variation of lee, the shortened ver. of alee)
whelk- spiraled shell (there was some controversy as to how to spell this: "welk," "welch," and "whelch" were also debated
hew- to strike forcibly with an ax, sword, or other cutting implement
cale- a town in arizona, also an alternate spelling for 'kale,' a variety of cabbage. this spelling is derived from scotch roots, slightly farther back to gaelic spelling it is more closely related to kale as certain alphabets do not differentiate between the two sounds.
coft- only an acronym
gile- try again (alternately 'jile' is an acronym)
So, here's a break in the list because at this point Kiersten joined for the last two rounds and somehow managed to accrue just as many kwestionable words on her own as we had in the previous several rounds
staid- fixed, settled, or permanent
bate- to lessen or diminish, cognate of abate
neats- plural of neat?? nooope
stire- nuh uh
tite- acronym
bair- alternate spelling of bear?? not really... but Baird is a town in TX
