1. The two words in each pair below share a unique relationship. Can you determine what it is?

STAR - TUBS
INKS - JOLT
CZAR - DABS
OHMS - PINT
ADDS - BEET

2. The two words in each pair below can be changed into different words by making a certain change. The change is the same for both words in each pair, but different for each pair. The changed letters, spelled downward, make up a word.

GLOW- BEAT
CONE - DAME
HAVE - MACE
SHOE - ITCH
IRIS - ILEX
READ - LIVE
STAG - SLAB

HINTS:
1. It has to do with the alphabet.
2. The change involves the second letter in each word.

Answers:

1. Advance each letter of the first word once forward in the alphabet to get the second word. (This is called a Caesar shift.)

2)
GROW - BRAT
CANE - DAME
HIVE - MICE
SNOW - INCH
IBIS - IBEX
ROAD - LOVE
SWAG - SWAB

Hidden word: RAINBOW
