Default All Antonyms 2

Just find the antonyms to the two words in the clue and add them together to make one longer word. The longer word is the answer. Most of these are pretty easy. I have some tough ones coming up later. This is a Cool + Down for you.

Example: Lower + Least = Uppermost

1. Sea + Empty
2. Biased + Sky
3. Start + Dark
4. Soft + Unemployed
5. Lose + Later
6. Future + Written
7. Over + Bare
8. Beginning + Calm
9. Hell + Guardian
10. Up + Wrong
11. Push + Under
12. Land + Back
13. Costly + Won’t
14. Death + Spending
15. Plenty + Dullness
16. Down + Taking
17. Fix + Inept
18. High + Fall
19. Before + Midnight
20. Rural + Narrow

Everyone did great as I expected. Next round, I hope will be much more challenging.

Stay tuned!
