Change one letter in each word in the left-hand column to a new one. The result may or may not be a word. Put these letters to the front or back of a word in the right-hand column to make a longer word. For example: AMY in the left-hand column and WALL in the right-hand column. The M in AMY could be changed to B - giving ABY. These letters could be added to WALL to bet WALLABY. The longer words will all be in the same category, and the changed letters, shown in ( ), reading down, will spell another word in that category. As a hint, the category is shown below the answers.
