The five words in each set below are derived from an answer word that's made up of at least eight letters, none of which are repeated. The letters of each clue word appear in the answer word in left-to-right order, though not necessarily consecutively.

For example, given the clue words BASE, HEM, LASH, LAY, SPY, the answer word would be BLASPHEMY - which contains all the clue words in left-to-right order, though not consecutively. Every letter of the answer word appears at least once in the clue words, and one clue word in each set appears in the answer word intact (HEM in the above example).
