Er, that's five words, Rich. :-) A useful question to ask oneself would be:
If ten of them are words, what are the other forty?

So you admit that all five of Rich's words are words?

Wrong again. This is the last one, I promise. "Invigorate" if you use

Ahhh, so we were not being slyly asked to list the "ten" words (e.g. those
containing the letters t, e, n. Thought I'd try it.

Congratulations, Peter. Care to share your groupings? I wasn't happy
with all of mine:
BAND performers stripe tie unite
BRACE invigorate pair support tool
DRAW attract disembowel please move
DRILL exercises monkey tool sower
FAIR gathering handsome just suit
MATCH contest fuse light marriage
PLANE face glide tool tree
PORT beverage haven left window
SACK beverage container plunder dismiss
SUIT befit clothing courtship strip
Peter Morris
I wasn't happy with all of mine, either. Here's what I had:
1) sack = plunder, dismiss, container, beverage
2) band = gathering, unite, performers, stripe
3) brace = pair, invigorate, support, tree
4) port = beverage, move, haven, left
5) suit = clothing, befit, please, courtship
6) drill = excercises, tool, contest , monkey
7) plane = tool, face, strip, glide,
------------
8) draw = disembowel, attract, tie
9) fair = handsome, light, just,
10 ) match = suit, marriage, fuse
leaving window, tool & sower unaccounted for.
Jess Askin
Perhaps window is port, like porthole? And a brace must be some kind of
tool. Actually a brace is part of a drill, so that's confusing. And a sower
would carry a sack, so perhaps something metonymical is going on there.
Anyway, good job.

That's where "please" went. Blind, blind. Thanks.

Port = window
tool = brace (brace & bit)
sower = drill (seed drill)

OED:
6. A carpenter's tool, having a crank handle, and a socket or pad
to hold a 'bit' for boring.
The brace and bit together are what we would consider an old-fashioned
drill. "Brace" came first (1567 vs. 1611) in the OED, and "drill"
took some time to settle down to implying a rotating bit, although by
the 1703 quote they were being contrasted with "punches" (which itself
is cited to 1505).

Well, it's the name of a record label - familiar to me - that seemed to fit
a question that's a "jam" of "definitions".
