HALF AND HALF I
From BRAIN GAMES FOR WORD NERDS
Francis Heaney

Each word in the left-hand column can be paired with a word in the right-hand column such that, if  you cut each word in half and swap the second halves of the words, you'll get two new words. For example, given the words , GUINEA and CORDED, you could swap their second halves to make GUIDED and CORNEA. The words in the right-hand column are in random order.
