TORMENTER/TORMENTOR are both valid, Louise, very good.
Not BEAMISH, though.

3. 353 = (2+1)*(8+9)*7 - 4. Got this quickly, it was my first idea.
4. TORRENT
5. RUSTLER/TONSURE
6. 799 = (8+8)*50 - 7/7
7. AMAZES. SHAZAM seems to be invalid.
8. 417 = 8*50 + 10 + 6 + 1
9. Gave up, wrongly assumed it must be a strange word.
Ooh, AIRLOCKS, love it! As Sam said, TORMENTER gets the nod but BEAMISH is not listed.
I rejected TORMENTER as thought it was -OR. Also wondered about BEAMISH!
