I don't really believe this is the answer, but just to get it out of the way:
Three-letter words?
24 Nov 2013
Well these are only three letter words, but with an extra feature :-)
25 Nov 2013
9. ion
10. set
11. row
25 Nov 2013
Three letter parts you can find both at the beginning and at the end of some words?
25 Nov 2013
getting closer.
12. pie
pay is not on the list
13. lie
most probably not lay
14. ill
I'm also quite convinced that
the does not belong to my list.
The hint is that I can be sure if something is on the list, but I'm only almost certain saying that some word is not on the list.

17. ant
18. val

Yes. For 3. I thought you can use Mo
The beginning does not have to be three letter. You can coin the phrase and start next puzzle.
Congratulations FatPhil.
