I have one solution.

I could only think of one set of letters for the 1st and 2nd words. I could think of multiple solutions for the 3rd word, but not an altermate word to use the same letters. My answer for the 5th word could also be used in the 8th word, but not sure it is legit.

Here are the letters I used for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 8th words: begqurtxz. The other letters could be used in multiple words.

The answers given in the source site all have the same words for #1,2,3,5, and 8, and they use the same letters you have, so I think you are on to something ;)

They also all have the same word for #10.

Why don't you give it to the end of the day, then post your list of words.
