[Note from JA: Scott Appel, (no relation to me), is a competitive Scrabble expert.]

Many words are almost anagrams. That is, they differ only by a single letter - even though they may look very different from each other. For example, ASPECT and PASTEL would be anagrams except for one letter - the C in ASPECT and the L in PASTEL.

Match each word in Column I with its one-letter-off anagram in Column II.
