I think you'll find this challenge ferry impressive!

I think it's time for a quick vacation - don't you agree? Wait, you want to know where we're going? That's a secret! Your challenge has nothing to do with how we're travelling at all. Nope. But here's what it will involve!
On the board ahead of you, you'll see a bunch of words - well, what would be a bunch of words. The first letter is available for all of you to see in all of them. Then, in your confessionals, you'll be guessing words for each of these. If you have any letters correct and in the correct position for that word, we'll show you. Likewise, if you have correct letters in the wrong position, we'll let you know. You may make 20 lists of guesses total, after which you will be stopped.
While you aren't allowed to discuss the words themselves with your tribes, you're more than free to post about strategy as long as you have not yet started the challenge. Every word is a real, non-proper noun word in English that can be found on merriam-webster.com. And because these terms may be a little out to sea for most of you, any outside reference sources are allowed! No solvers at all, though.
There is also a tiebreaker question to answer individually. In the event of a tie, the closest player to the correct answer wins the challenge for their tribe. In the event of further ties, we will pick the answer that is uniquely closest.
You are on the honour system to not edit any posts made that are related to this challenge. If you are caught editing your tribe will be penalized.
The two tribes that takes the least guesses win Immunity. The tribe that takes the most guesses will be headed to Tribal Council. You have 24 hours. Good luck!
In short:
- Submit a list of guesses for every word you haven't gotten correct yet.
- Mods will tell you which letters are correct, and if you have any in the right place.
- Continue doing this until you have either submitted your 20th list, or guessed every word correctly.
- The total guesses you made (each word in a list counts as a guess) is your score. Each word not identified after the 20th list adds an extra 5 guesses (for a total of 25 per unidentified word).
- If you are not finished by deadline, we'll count that as 25 guesses for each of the words you didn't get in time.
- The tribe with the highest average number of guesses will be sent to Tribal Council.
1)T****** (6 letters to find)
2)B**** (4 letters to find)
3)D***** (5 letters to find)
4)T**** (4 letters to find)
5)B**** (4 letters to find)
6)A***** (5 letters to find)
7)C**** (4 letters to find)
8)C***** (5 letters to find)
9)P*** (3 letters to find)
10) C***** (5 letters to find)
Tiebreak question: What is the total number of guesses that all players will take?
