Doubletalk

Here's a word game I made up. I found words with doubled letters, and put them with clues. It reminded me of the good old days when I worked for the newspaper and made up puzzles to put on the comics page to fill space. It was fun and weird to make up puzzles for work--it was so fun, sometimes I felt like I was slacking on the job.

This one isn't especially hard, but there's a couple of obscure ones. Have fun!

I couldn't find any yy words that aren't nowhere places in Scandinavia or Turkey, and that's not fun. Really, I was pushing it with qq.
