Nice one! I learned a new word.
Same here. Thanks for submitting this teaser.
You may have learned a new word, but why did the author think we would know that one in the first place? The other 3 were okay and solvable.
I finally go the right answer on one of these! Yay!
Fun and entertaining teaser; I got them all even though I have never heard of riparian. Rip was the best fit for the other three words and the hint so I went with that.
I also learned a new word. I enjoy these. Keep aww a a them coming.
