[BurtWorm]

Here's the first one:

A dungeon, from the French word meaning "to forget."

[NaMeaHou]

1. Reagonette

Sorry.

[BurtWorm]

3. I'll bet you know the word I'm looking for.

So here's another one:

Not tinny, but weird.

[Maddy McCall]

18. uncanny?

[BurtWorm]

23. You're good!

Or am I really bad at giving clues?

[Maddy McCall]

26. I'm good, Burt...

LOL! I see the pattern now. ;-)

[Dookus]

2. oubliette

[BurtWorm]

5. Prezackly.

A lovely little word for a dungeon, ain't it?

[kixot]

4. oooooohhhhh, tough one.

For anyone who didn't see "Labyrinth", I guess.

[BurtWorm]

6. I didn't see it. Is that how come so many know it?

I thought only English majors would know it.

[Dookus]

9. I first learned it

when reading Silence of the Lambs. I hadda look it up.

[kixot]

20. Anyone who saw the movie walked away with the word and definition.

It's a featured scene when Jennifer Connolly character is banished to a dungeon where people could be "forgotten".

[Stone Cold]

7. I never heard of...

...any of these words in my life.

[Maddy McCall]

8. next one, please...

Minussed? Abashed!

[Dookus]

13. are these...

"cryptic crossword" clues?

[BurtWorm]

15. Yes.

Just to make them more interesting. The first was too easy.

[Maddy McCall]

16. nonplussed?

[BurtWorm]

17. Excellent!

[Maddy McCall]

19. Let me think a second...

I'll ask as soon as I come up with a good one...

[Maddy McCall]

21. not chronological; unexpected

I am new at this. :-)

[BurtWorm]

25. Untimely?

[Maddy McCall]

27. Yay!

See, I suck at giving hints.

[BurtWorm]

29. I had to think about that.

The one below is actually pretty obvious when you take the clue literally. (Suspending disbelief in talking trees.)

[BurtWorm]

22. Sounds like the answer to a little tree that says, "Who's a tree?"

[Maddy McCall]

24. got no idea...

can't even fathom it. :-)

[Maddy McCall]

28. gotta go get a lecture together for tomorrow...

I might take your hints in for extra credit...:-)

[BurtWorm]

30. Thanks for playing!

[DisgustipatedinCA]

31. Eritrea? I have nothing better than that. n/t

[BurtWorm]

32. Take the clue literally.

What would you say to a little tree that asked "Who's a tree?"

[SPQR]

34. Well, if I were a tree too

I'd say geometry.

[BurtWorm]

33. Sounds like shirt protector, Buscaglia: rank companion.

Definitely a book lover.
