I have a quiz I am stuck with and all the answers have either NOV or DEC in the title.
so 1. Last month of the year = DECEMBER

10. STAFF COMING AND GOING (8 LETTERS)
21. CHARACTERISTIC OF A STEPMOTHER (8 LETTERS)
22. CONFESSION BY DEFENDANT (8 LETTERS)
many thanks in advance! x Lisette x

10 Turnover - TurNOVer.

Thank you - any ideas about the confession of a defendant? I have never ever heard of the word novercal and am startled to see it attributed to Robert Browning!

22 All I can think of is 'declaration' but too many letters
