BE A BETTER ANAGRAMMER XII

Some words are almost anagrams. That is, they differ by only a single letter - although they often look very different from each other. For example, MEMORY and  EMBRYO would be anagrams except for one letter - one of the M's i n MEMORY and the B in EMBRYO.

Match each word in Column I with its one-letter-off anagram in Column II.

1. PLIERS                RECOIL
2. TIGHT                 GUTTER
3. CERTAIN            VIRTUE
4. RASPY                ENTRAIL
5. TRUDGE            GENIUS
6. ARCANE            RIPPLE
7. SEQUIN              GUISE
8. WORTHY           SYRUP
