Each word in the left-hand column can "eat" one of the words in the right-hand column to produce a new word - without any re-arrangement of letters. For example, the word THEM in the left-hand column below could swallow the word ORE in the right-hand column to form THEOREM (theOREm). The words in the right-hand column are in random order. Can you match the eaters with the "eatees" and determine the new words?

THEM              END
PIQUE             ALLOW
ANY                KNOT
EIGHT            CARES
SWING           ORE
DEFER           LIMO
FORD             YES
BANE             WAR

Answers:

THEM - ORE - - - THEOREM
PIQUE - CARES - - - PICARESQUE
ANY - LIMO - - - ALIMONY
EIGHT - YES - - - EYESIGHT
SWING - ALLOW - - - SWALLOWING
DEFER - END - - - DEFENDER
FORD - WAR - - - FORWARD
BANE - KNOT - - - BANKNOTE
