Each word 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 RELIC in the left-hand column below could swallow the word PUB in the right-hand column to form REPUBLIC (rePUBlic). The words in the right-hand column are in random order. Can you match the eaters with the "eatees" and determine the new words?

RELIC                 NET
THEM                 RAY
VARY                 AFAR
SEER                  SPEND
MAGIC               PUB
SUED                 ORE
PORTAL             SIT

Answers:

RELIC - PUB - - - REPUBLIC
