What's the Word?
As you can see, the following groupings of letters are the central letters in words. Each grouping begins with two letters and ends with the same two letters in the same order. (For clarification, the two letters are different for each grouping.)
1. **ca**
2. **bl**
3. **eepi**
4. **adac**
5. **ur**
6. **gib**
7. **risco**
8. **epsa**
I'm not sure if there is more than one answer for each, but I have at least one for each.
Can you find the words?

Darn Chris, I only got headache and sheepish...
No "headache" here. I used a crossword puzzle solver assistant programme that I wrote many years ago to help me. i.e. I cheated. LOL.
In fact I got decade, emblem and sheepish before I cheated.
Chris's crossword program did well ... heh heh

I used SQL and a dictionary
SELECT allwords.word, allwords.length, Mid([word],3,4) AS middle, Mid([word],1,1) AS Expr1, Mid([word],2,1) AS Expr2, Mid([word],7,1) AS Expr5, Mid([word],8,1) AS Expr6
FROM allwords
WHERE (((allwords.length)=9) AND ((Mid([word],3,4))="epsa") AND ((Mid([word],7,1))=Mid([word],1,1)) AND ((Mid([word],8,1))=Mid([word],2,1)));
Clearly Ragknot's got a bigger dictionary than mine.
Vacava and anuran - I'm off to look them up.... Not your average everyday words I suspect.
Hi Ragknot ...
I'm sure it's just a typo because you are normally very precise ... but it is "keepsake" not "keepsakes"
