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 CRATE in the left-hand column could swallow the word ONSIDE in the right-hand column to form CONSIDERATE (cONSIDErate). The words in the right-hand column are in random order. Can you match the eaters with the "eatees" and determine the new words?

CRATE             NOR
SLING              IF
SPECIES          SCONCE
CAROL            TAP
DIRT                 ONSIDE
HOARY            DIME
SENT                USE

Answers:

CRATE - ONSIDE - - - CONSIDERATE
SLING - TAP - - - STAPLING
SPECIES - IF - - - SPECIFIES
CAROL - USE - - - CAROUSEL
DIRT - SCONCE - - - DISCONCERT
HOARY - NOR - - - HONORARY
SENT - DIME - - - SEDIMENT
