DYNAMIC DUOS II

Stephen Sniderman

The same two consecutive letters can be inserted somewhere within each word in the pairs below to form two new words. For example, given the two clue pairs

FIGHT    CASE
LYNX     BROW,

the consecutive letters RE could be added to FIGHT and CASE, forming FREIGHT and CREASE. Likewise, the consecutive letters AR could be added to LYNX and BROW to form LARYNX and BARROW. The duos are never added at the beginning or end of words.

As a solving aid, each letter duo shares one missing letter with the duo from the preceding pair of words and the other missing letter with the next duo. In the example above, the letter R from the first pair is used in the second pair. The letter A in the second pair will be used in the third pair, and so on. This holds true for the first and last words in each set, which also share a letter. This allows you to solve from the bottom up as well as from the top down. For example, the duo from the last pair in Set I, RIVAL and RELATION, must contain either an R or an E.
