Let’s solve this step by step.

We are given 18 clues, and for each one, we need to find a word that:
- Contains the letters I-C-E (in that order, but not necessarily together — though in most cases here they’re consecutive or close)
- Fits the meaning of the clue
- Has blanks shown where other letters go — so we can count how many letters total and where “ICE” fits

We’ll go one by one.

---

1. Once more than once → _ _ ICE

“Once more than once” = twice? But “twice” doesn’t have ICE.
Wait — “again”? No.
What about “thrice”? That means three times — which is *more than once*.
But “thrice” ends with “ice” — T-H-R-I-C-E → yes! And it has 6 letters: _ _ _ I C E → but the blank shows only two before ICE? Wait, look at the format:

It says: `____ICE` — actually, looking back at the image description (even though we don’t describe it), the user wrote:

> 1. Once more than once _______ICE

Actually, from your text input, you wrote:

> 1. Once more than once _______ICE
> 2. You roll these in many games ___ICE
> etc.

So let’s interpret the underscores as indicating number of letters BEFORE “ICE”.

For #1: “Once more than once” → could be “twice”, but no ICE.
“Thrice” = 3 times → contains “ice” at end → T H R I C E → so if pattern is ___ICE, then 3 letters before → THR + ICE → THRICE → perfect.

✔ Answer: THRICE

2. You roll these in many games ___ICE

Roll in games → dice! D-I-C-E → 4 letters → _ _ _ ICE? Wait, “dice” is 4 letters: D-I-C-E → so if pattern is ___ICE, that would imply 3 letters before ICE → but “dice” has only 1 letter before ICE? Hmm.

Wait — maybe the underscores represent TOTAL letters minus 3 (for ICE)? Or perhaps the underscores show positions?

Looking again at your typed version:

You wrote:

> 2. You roll these in many games ___ICE

That’s 3 underscores + ICE → 6 characters total? But “dice” is 4 letters.

Wait — perhaps it's "DICE" and the blanks are misaligned? Let’s think differently.

Maybe the word is “dice”, and the pattern is just showing that “ice” is at the end, and the blank is for the first part.

In many such puzzles, “___ICE” means the word ends with “ice”, and there are some letters before.

For #2: “You roll these in many games” → definitely DICE

D-I-C-E → so if we write it as _ICE, that would be 1 underscore → but you wrote “___ICE” — maybe typo? Or perhaps it’s “pair of dice”? No.

Wait — another possibility: “bones”? No. “Dice” is correct.

Perhaps the formatting is off. Let’s assume that the number of underscores indicates how many letters come BEFORE “ICE”.

So for #2: “___ICE” → 3 letters before ICE → total 6-letter word ending in ICE.

What game item do you roll that ends in ICE and has 6 letters?

Hmm… “marbles”? No. “Tokens”? No.

Wait — what about “dice” plural? Still 4 letters.

Another idea: “cubes”? Not ending in ice.

Wait — perhaps it’s “die” — singular — but still no.

Hold on — maybe it’s “lattice”? No.

Let’s skip and come back.

Actually — common phrase: “roll the dice” — and “dice” contains “ice”. Maybe the puzzle allows “dice” even if blanks don’t match exactly? But let’s check others.

Wait — perhaps #2 is “DICE” and the blanks are just示意 (indicating space), not exact count.

But to be precise, let’s look at #3.

---

3. A selection _______ICE

“A selection” → choice? Choice has “ice” at end: C-H-O-I-C-E → 6 letters → CHO + ICE → so if pattern is _______ICE (7 underscores?), wait you wrote:

> 3. A selection _______ICE

That’s 7 underscores? Probably not. In your original message, you used varying numbers.

Actually, re-reading your input:

You wrote:

> 1. Once more than once _______ICE
> 2. You roll these in many games ___ICE
> 3. A selection _______ICE
> 4. Expensive _______ICE__
> ...

This is inconsistent. Perhaps the underscores are meant to indicate the position of “ICE” within the word, and the total length varies.

Better approach: ignore the exact number of underscores and focus on finding words that contain “ICE” and fit the clue.

Let me list all answers based on standard vocabulary:

Standard answers for this classic worksheet (I recall this type):

1. Once more than once → THRICE (T-H-R-I-C-E)
2. You roll these in many games → DICE (D-I-C-E)
3. A selection → CHOICE (C-H-O-I-C-E)
4. Expensive → PRICEY? But must contain “ICE” → EXPENSIVE itself? E-X-P-E-N-S-I-V-E — no “ice”.
Wait — “costly”? No.
“Dear”? No.
Ah — PRICELESS? Too long.
Wait — PRECIOUS? No.
Another: HIGH-PRICED? Not single word.
Wait — ICE is in “expensive”? Let’s spell: E-X-P-E-N-S-I-V-E — positions: I is 7th, V is 8th, E is 9th — no “ICE” sequence.

Wait — perhaps COSTLY? No.

Hold on — maybe DEAR? No.

Another thought: VALUABLE? No.

Wait — perhaps ICE is in “price”? P-R-I-C-E → yes! “Price” contains “ice”. And “expensive” relates to high price.

But the clue is “Expensive” — so word meaning expensive that contains “ice”.

PRICEY — informal for expensive — P-R-I-C-E-Y → contains “ice” → yes!

And if pattern is _______ICE__, that might allow for PRICEY — 6 letters: P-R-I-C-E-Y → “ice” is positions 3-5, then Y after.

Your pattern for #4: _______ICE__ — that’s 7 underscores before ICE and 2 after? That would be 10 letters? Unlikely.

Perhaps it’s OVERPRICED? O-V-E-R-P-R-I-C-E-D → contains “ice” → yes! 10 letters.

But let’s see standard answer.

Upon recalling, common answer for “expensive” containing “ice” is PRICEY or COSTLY — but costly has no ice.

Another: DEAR — no.

Wait — ICE is in “nice”? No.

Perhaps LUXURIOUS? No.

Let’s try #5.

5. Person who helps another commit a crime _________ICE

Accomplice! A-C-C-O-M-P-L-I-C-E → contains “ice” at end → yes! 10 letters.

Pattern: _________ICE — 9 underscores before ICE? Accomplice is 10 letters: A-C-C-O-M-P-L-I-C-E → so “accomplic” + “e” — but “ice” is last three: I-C-E.

Yes — ACCOMPLICE.

✔ Answer: ACCOMPLICE

---

6. Upper portion of a woman's dress _______ICE

Bodice! B-O-D-I-C-E → contains “ice” → yes! 6 letters.

Pattern: _______ICE — probably 3 underscores before → BOD + ICE → BODICE.

✔ Answer: BODICE

---

7. An opinion given as a guide to action _______ICE

Advice! A-D-V-I-C-E → contains “ice” → yes! 6 letters.

Pattern: _______ICE — ADV + ICE → ADVICE.

✔ Answer: ADVICE

---

8. Yellow discoloration of the skin __________ICE

Jaundice! J-A-U-N-D-I-C-E → contains “ice” → yes! 8 letters.

Pattern: __________ICE — likely 5 underscores before → JAUND + ICE → JAUNDICE.

✔ Answer: JAUNDICE

---

9. Most pleasant _______ICE__

Nicest? N-I-C-E-S-T → contains “ice” → yes! 6 letters.

Pattern: _______ICE__ — nicest is N-I-C-E-S-T → “ice” is positions 2-4, then S-T after.

If pattern allows, NICEST works.

“Most pleasant” = nicest.

✔ Answer: NICEST

---

10. Used for speaking _______ICE

Voice! V-O-I-C-E → contains “ice” → yes! 5 letters.

Pattern: _______ICE — VOI + CE? Wait, “voice” is V-O-I-C-E — so “ice” is last three? I-C-E — yes, positions 3-5.

So if pattern is ___ICE, that would be 3 letters before? But “voice” has 2 before: V-O.

Perhaps it’s acceptable.

Another word? “Device”? For speaking? Like microphone? But device contains “ice” — D-E-V-I-C-E → yes, but not specifically for speaking.

“Voice” is best.

✔ Answer: VOICE

---

11. A crack that forms an opening _______ICE

Crevice! C-R-E-V-I-C-E → contains “ice” → yes! 7 letters.

Pattern: _______ICE — CREV + ICE → CREVICE.

✔ Answer: CREVICE

---

12. An activity to make everyone feel at ease ICE_________

Icebreaker! I-C-E-B-R-E-A-K-E-R → starts with “ice” → yes! 10 letters.

Pattern: ICE_________ — perfect, since it starts with ICE.

✔ Answer: ICEBREAKER

---

13. Liquid extracted from fruit _______ICE

Juice! J-U-I-C-E → contains “ice” → yes! 5 letters.

Pattern: _______ICE — JU + ICE → JUICE.

✔ Answer: JUICE

---

14. Law enforcement official _______ICE

Police! P-O-L-I-C-E → contains “ice” → yes! 6 letters.

Pattern: _______ICE — POL + ICE → POLICE.

✔ Answer: POLICE

---

15. An animal or object offered to a god ________ICE

Sacrifice! S-A-C-R-I-F-I-C-E → contains “ice” at end → yes! 9 letters.

Pattern: ________ICE — SACRIFIC + E? Wait, “sacrifice” is S-A-C-R-I-F-I-C-E — “ice” is last three: I-C-E.

Yes.

✔ Answer: SACRIFICE

---

16. A muscle in the upper arm _______ICE__

Triceps! T-R-I-C-E-P-S → contains “ice” → yes! 7 letters.

Pattern: _______ICE__ — TRI + CEPS? “Triceps” is T-R-I-C-E-P-S — “ice” is positions 3-5, then P-S after.

So if pattern allows, TRICEPS.

✔ Answer: TRICEPS

---

17. A fragrant seasoning _______ICE

Spice! S-P-I-C-E → contains “ice” → yes! 5 letters.

Pattern: _______ICE — SP + ICE → SPICE.

✔ Answer: SPICE

---

18. Itemized bill for goods or services provided _______ICE

Invoice! I-N-V-O-I-C-E → contains “ice” → yes! 7 letters.

Pattern: _______ICE — INVOC + E? “Invoice” is I-N-V-O-I-C-E — “ice” is last three: I-C-E.

Yes.

✔ Answer: INVOICE

---

Now go back to #2 and #4.

#2: You roll these in many games ___ICE

We said DICE — D-I-C-E — 4 letters. If pattern is ___ICE (3 underscores), that suggests 6 letters, but “dice” is 4.

Is there a 6-letter word? “Dice” is plural; singular is “die” — no.

“Pair of dice” — not single word.

Perhaps it’s “bones” — slang for dice — but no “ice”.

Another possibility: “cubes” — no.

Wait — in some contexts, “dice” is accepted even if blanks don't match. But let's see if there's a better fit.

What about “marbles”? No.

Perhaps it’s “tokens” — no.

I think it’s safe to go with DICE, assuming the blanks are approximate.

But let’s check online or standard answer — upon recollection, yes, #2 is DICE.

Similarly, #4: Expensive → PRICEY

P-R-I-C-E-Y — contains “ice”, and means expensive.

Pattern: _______ICE__ — PRICEY is 6 letters: P-R-I-C-E-Y — so if we consider “ice” in middle, and Y after, it fits if the last two underscores are for “ey” or something.

Some versions use OVERPRICED, but that’s longer.

“Pricey” is common.

Another option: COSTLY — no “ice”.

DEAR — no.

So PRICEY is best.

But let’s confirm spelling: P-R-I-C-E-Y — yes, contains “I-C-E” consecutively.

Yes.

So final answers:

1. THRICE
2. DICE
3. CHOICE
4. PRICEY
5. ACCOMPLICE
6. BODICE
7. ADVICE
8. JAUNDICE
9. NICEST
10. VOICE
11. CREVICE
12. ICEBREAKER
13. JUICE
14. POLICE
15. SACRIFICE
16. TRICEPS
17. SPICE
18. INVOICE

All contain “ICE” and fit the clues.

Final Answer:
1. THRICE
2. DICE
3. CHOICE
4. PRICEY
5. ACCOMPLICE
6. BODICE
7. ADVICE
8. JAUNDICE
9. NICEST
10. VOICE
11. CREVICE
12. ICEBREAKER
13. JUICE
14. POLICE
15. SACRIFICE
16. TRICEPS
