Cut one letter out of each word in the left-hand column and paste a word from the right-hand column in its place to form a new word. For example, if the word in the left-hand column is CANAL, and the word PIT appears in the right-hand column, you could drop the N in CANAL and replace it with PIT to spell CAPITAL.

Any letter may be cut from words in the left-hand column, including the first or last - so you might cut B from BIO and replace it with STUD to make STUDIO. Or you might cut the P from ROMP and paste the word ANTIC in its place to spell ROMANTIC.
