Move one letter in each of the words below to a different position in the word - without moving any other letters - to create a new word. For example, given the word GALLERY, you could move the G and re-position it before the Y to get ALLERGY. (Two other anagrams of GALLERY are possible - LARGELY and REGALLY - but they would require moving more than one letter.)
