Below are some words that fit.
a. cliff b. radio c. aubades d. outcast/success e. twelve f. angry g. mea/meg/men/mer/met/mew h. aloe/blob/bloc/blot/blow/clod/clog/clop/clot/cloy/floe/ flog/flop/flow/glob/glom/glop/glow/plod/plop/plot/plow/ ploy/slob/sloe/slog/slop/slot/slow i. dinars/diners/donors j. conic/ionic/sonic/tonic
I reckon that 'Twelve Angry Men' has to be a clue.
Ciao,
