In each pair of words below, remove a letter from one word and add it the other. Then re-arrange the resulting letters in both words to form two new words naming items that belong to the same category. For example, given RENEGE and GROAN, you would transfer an E from RENEGE to GROAN and anagram the results to form GREEN and ORANGE. The transferred letter may come from either word. As a solving hint, the category that the two anagrammed words belong to is listed below the clues. In the above example, it would be Colors.
