'castle' has to be right from the clues given.

Even so, "bustle" couldn't be correct, because "hassle" and "curtly" give us
????l? with three of hass?e and two of curt?y, which gives us ten
possiblities:
hastly
harsly
hartle
hussly
hustle
hursle
cassly
castle
carsle
cussle
I list them because some of them are cute potential words that are (to my
knowledge) as yet unused in English. =}
easels does seem to restrict us down to hastly, cassly, and castle, the last
of which being the only current word, at least without getting obscure.

hastly and cassly can't be right because uneasy got a 0.

I'd ruled them out because they weren't words, but that's a better reason.
BTW, as soon as blaise gets around to okaying "castle," I'll start a new item
so this one can be frozen.

"bustle" was expected to garner a 5, not a 6. I didn't want to be 'it'. ;)

Yeah, but you know me, I'm a stickler. ;}
I'll start a new item and report on its location in my next post.

Yeah, I just hadn't gotten to this conference in a couple of days. Bad week
at the office.
