PLUG-INS II

Dell PennyPress Variety Puzzles

Volume 121 

Form 7-letter words by re-arranging the letters of each 6-letter word and plugging in one of the underlined letters. The plugged-in letter will be in the same position in each 7-letter answer, and each underlined letter will be used only once. #1 is a valid, but very dated word. [Note from JA: I found these very challenging.]
