    XA, YA and ZA words quiz

    Each of the below is a clue to a single word which begins with XA, YA or ZA (unsurprisingly most are YA). The word I am looking for has the number of letters shown in brackets. How many can you guess? One guess per clue and you have to get the word I was looking for. No use of reference material or the internet of course to ensure fair play. Good luck.


    REMEMBER - NO POSTS instead you PM me with your guesses any time up to 5AM tomorrow. If possible, please wait until you've completed all the guesses you want to make to avoid too many PMs and to make my job easier. So no hurry and it doesn't matter when you submit the answers because I'll be judging them solely on who has the most correct - and in the event of two or more being level it will be a tie. I hope this is clear and good luck. Tomorrow I’ll post the names of the top entries.
