Could I please get a hint for 10? I have half of the letters, but I can't figure it out.

Also, despite hints, I can't get 1,14 and 16.

the bad guy - His(the head is the first letter)

lvl 14 is nasty.

the dollar is $=s, the vii is a roman numeral which needs to be converted into leet.....I will spoil the rest later if you are still having trouble

very literally, what is on the screen....it is a c***

the word is hidden in the sentence! try all words you can see

Thank you jon, I got 1 It was so easy after all. I'll see what I can do with 14 and 16.

Edit: Got 10, too. Thanks again jon I didn't know that's a word.

Edit2: Also got 16.

Edit3: I guessed the one missing letter and got my fireworks, but I'll try to solve 14, too. But later, now it's time for me to go to sleep.

I used some obscure words because it is not fair on non-English speakers if the words are obvious.....I wanted to make it difficult for an English speaker to bruteforce answers......and you will learn an interesting word here and there as you play
