Each two-word phrase below disguises a single word with just one letter out of place. Can you "bounce" that letter to where it belongs by jumping it over two to eight letters to its right or left? For example, given MA AISLE, the L could jump over the S, I, and A to its left to form MALAISE. Given TEXT RACING, the first T could jump over the E, X, T, R, A, and C to its right to form EXTRACTING.
