Got Any More Brain-Busters?

Okay, I am loathe to admit that I have arrived at another one of those word puzzles in my puzzle-a-day calendar, and I CAN'T SOLVE IT.

Normally this would make me cry alone in the dark, but I must put aside my pride and offer it up to y'all and hope that somebody out there can figure it out. I know that I could SO VERY EASILY flip the paper over for the solution, but that would be CHEATING. I don't cheat. Except in high school.

...

No. I didn't.

Anyway, the rules: The 10 words below all belong in the same category. To find each word, remove one letter, then rearrange the remaining letters:

1. FUGAL
2. MAHOE
3. ADVERB
4. LAWYER
5. GLITCH
6. GRAVEL
7. HELIPAD
8. PYRULOID
9. REPULSION
10. RINGMASTER

I suck at these. And making the matter worse in this case, I have absolutely no idea what they are asking me to do.

I say flip.

they are words in the star-spangled banner - flag, home, brave, early, light, glare, hailed, proudly, perilous, streaming.
