Drop one letter from each word in the left-hand column and add the remaining letters to the front or back of one of the words in the right-hand column to form a new word - without re-arranging any letters.

For example, in the puzzle below, the O in GOING in the left-hand column could be dropped and the remaining letters (GING) could be placed before HAM in the right-hand column to get GINGHAM.

Similarly, the C in CITY could be dropped and the ITY could be added to the back of AMEN to get AMENITY.
