New Word Sudoku (Contronyms) Puzzles for Sunday, 3/19/2023

I spent hours raveling the string the cat so thoroughly raveled this morning!

A contronym (or contranym, or auto-antonym, or even autantonym) is a word that can have opposite or contradictory meanings, depending on context. Every other Sunday in 2023, I'll present you a Qudoku puzzle, puzzling out the meaning of one or more contronyms.
