Each of the words in the left-hand column can "eat" one of the words in the right-hand column to produce a new word - without any re-arrangement of letters. For example, the word SUED can swallow the word STAIN to form SUSTAINED. The words in the right-hand column are not in order. Can you match the eaters with the "eatees" and determine the new words?

1. EIGHT              SIDE
2. LATER              ISLE
3. MAD                 QUEST
4. MAGIC             URGE
5. MINER             UGH
6. RENT               NET
7. SEER               YES
8. SON                 DREAD

Answers:

1. EIGHT - YES - - EYESIGHT
2. LATER - UGH - - LAUGHTER
3. MAD - ISLE - - MISLEAD
4. MAGIC - NET - - MAGNETIC
5. MINER - DREAD - - MINDREADER
6. RENT - SIDE - - RESIDENT
7. SEER - QUEST - - SEQUESTER
8. SON - URGE - - SURGEON
