As per mark's assumption I can revise the grid with orpin as follows...

Code:

1 F###O

3 ##U#P 

4 ####I 

5 ORPIN

Hint 3: PUZZLE 22

3rd one isn't plump. But very close ....

Are you sure you have the right definition for #1? Should it be "by the fact?"

How about:
facto
a?l?r
clump
t?m?i
orpin

And although I haven't been able to confirm this, I'll guess:

facto
abler
clump
tempi
orpin

The closest I can get is -

s c u l l
c u r i o
u r b a n
l i a n e
l o n e r

But 'scull' refers to rowing thus should be 'skull'
which makes No. 2 'kurio'. But this is unlikely as 'curio' comes from 'curiosity'.

PUZZLE 25
lessels you are correct about your solution for PUZZLE 24

Scull has actual meanin as Rowing. But it is a dialected "skull" (due to similar pronounciation they are accepted as synonyms for each other ... Roget's Thesaurus).

Hi Vinsan

Puzzle 25

1. MAZER
2. ABODE ?
3. ZOOID
4. EDIFY
5. REDYE

I must be incorrect somewhere along the line- I was going to put 'ABIDE' for 'TOLERATE', but the only word that fits with my other answers is 'ABODE', which is past tense! Laughing

Where have I gone wrong Vinsan?
