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

1. CHEST               URN
2. ACE                   YEN
3. PAT                     APE
