Each line of words below contains six pieces from two or three longer words that begin with the same letter. The first letter of these longer words has been dropped, and the remaining letters have been broken up into shorter words. These shorter words are in alphabetical order. By adding the right starter letter and regrouping the pieces, you should be able to reconstruct the original two or three words.
For example, given the set of words
___ ABLE ALLY DEN NO PER TIC,
you would add the starter letter I to DEN to make
IDEN-TIC-ALLY,
and to NO to make INO-PER-ABLE
Given the set of words
___ ANT ARK ARM LAB LEG ORATE,
you would add the starter letter E to ARM, LAB, and LEG
to make
EARM-ARK, ELAB-ORATE, and ELEG-ANT.
The letters you add in each set, read downward, will spell a word with no repeated letters. That word, which is given as a hint, will tell you the starter letter for each line.
