Lynne, thanks a lot for enlightening us with the definitions. I had a feeling compensation wasn īt exactly the right word and, of course, reward is the correct word.
I happen to love trying to guess the words, it is really good fun and a way of putting my brain to the work!

A substance that makes you ill or die if you eat or drink it

To try to be more successful than someone else

1. reward (I think that your definition is too specific. A reward is money you get to thank you for helping someone or for responding to an appeal, e.g. for a lost pet.)
2. insurance
3. biddable?
4. yawn
5. consumer
6. naked, nude, (bare) 
7. deadline
8. confident
9. poison
10. compete?
