: New: False Friends

It is still #EnigMarch. Thus, each day the EnigMarch people post a prompt word; and puzzle nerds such as myself attempt to design a puzzle to that prompt. (Today's word is false.)

A false friend is a word in a foreign language language that looks similar to an English word, but means something else. E.g., compare English embarrassed and Spanish embarazada ("pregnant").
