11. Answer:

Benhurst is the weiner, and Waistdeep gets 1/2 point. STRENGTHS is the longest word with only one vowel.

[Benhurst]

12. The win belongs to Waistdeep. I'll claim the 1/2 point for

noticing it would be one letter longer in its plural form.
:toast:

[Waistdeep]

13. No, Benhurst

You defeated me, fair and square. Let us have a beer and celebrate linguistic sport.

I'm going to give my 1/2 point to charity, anyway.

Go Dems, the brainy party.
