The answer words in this puzzle have cleverly disguised themselves as (sometimes nonsensical) two-word phrases. Your mission is to reveal their true identities by changing only two letters per phrase - one in the first word and one in the second - and eliminating the space. For example, INN TRANCE:

by changing the first N in INN to G, and the T in TRANCE to O, you would get IGNORANCE, after eliminating the space. 

The newly transformed letter in the second word of one phrase is the same letter you'll need to insert in the first word of the phrase that follows it. In the example above, the new letter in the second word was O. If the next phrase were PUTS MARK, you would replace one of the letters in PUTS with an O. In this case, the answer word would be OUTSMART, and T would replace a letter in the first word of the following phrase.
