1. Add seven letters to ill to create a word that means to brighten with light.

Answer: Illuminate

Illuminate can also mean to decorate with lights or allow someone to understand. An alternate answer to this question may have been "illustrate"; however, its meaning is more about enlightenment than brightening with light.

2. Add a letter to either side of ill to make a word that means a female foal or a slang term for a young girl.

Answer: Filly

The informal use of filly to describe a spirited young lady is not in common use these days. A filly is considered to be a female horse under the age of four.

3. Add five letters to the front of ill to create a word that is a large baboon. (It's not a gorilla).

Answer: Mandrill

Baboons are monkeys, gorillas are apes. The general difference between monkeys and apes is that monkeys have tails and apes don't; however, there are species of tailless monkeys.

4. Add one letter to ill to create the respiratory organ of a fish.

Most fish have gills but there are species that will absorb oxygen directly while others have evolved accessory breathing organs. Alternatively, a gill is also a unit of liquid measure the equivalent of a quarter of a pint.

5. Add five letters to ill to create a word that means a misleading image that is presented to the vision.

Answer: Illusion

An illusion can also be an act, such as a conjurer's trick. Accordingly, an illusion can be seen as a deception and/or a misconception.

7. Add five letters around the word ill to make another word that describes a person who makes, trims, designs, or sells hats.

9. Add four letters to ill to create the word that means poor health as a result of disease to the body or the mind.

Answer: Illness

While illness is used to describe poor health it can just as easily be used to describe the disease. Though rarely employed these days, illness can also be used to indicate wickedness.

10. Add three letters on each side of ill to make a word to describe large calibre weapons.

Answer: Artillery

Artillery can be used to describe most weapons that discharge missiles. This includes catapults and arbalests. The artillery is also a branch of the army that specialises in the use of these high calibre weapons.
