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 ODES LATE, if the O jumps over the three letters to its right (the D, E, and S), the result (after closing up the space) is DESOLATE. Given PONY MOUSE, the E would jump all eight letters to its left to get EPONYMOUS.
