Took me about a minute, and another minute to check the one I
wasn't sure of.  Wasted a bit of time checking whether it was
supposed to be four letters again.  The process was a bit less
clear, but there aren't really that many four-letter prefixes.
I think probably "winder" was key.  Since there was only one
questionable, the path from suspicion to certainty was quicker...

Not for me.  Except for the teaser, one might wonder whether
the prefix had a consistent definition, but I found it within
bounds.  Certainly within the same space as supposedly consistent
latin/greek word-components.

REAL teasers like that create certainty faster than mere
questionable words like the last set, IMO.
