BE A BETTER ANAGRAMMER XIV

Many words are almost anagrams. That is, they differ by only a single letter - although they may look very different from each other. For example, RELISH and SLEIGH would be anagrams except for one letter - the R in RELISH and the G in SLEIGH.

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

           I                           II
1. DIFFER                COUPON
2. MARBLE             BROOCH
3. REDEEM             MAYHEM
4. POUNCE             ADROIT
5. YOUNG               FERVID
6. HAMMER           LIMBER
7. TEACUP             AGONY
8. TIRADE              SPIRAL
9. COHORT            FAUCET
10. PILLAR            DEMURE
