So, your mom wanted you to be a heart surgeon. Well, here's your chance! In this puzzle you're going to be moving hearts around. The clue can be read as "Take the heart from the first word and put it into the second to get the third". All words are five letters.

Example: bothersome -> card game = puzzle ...(peSky -> poker = poser)

-1. muted -> collect = a bit off
-2. mismanage -> beer = subsequently
-3. acute -> loser = winner
-4. inauguration -> love = garden decoration
-5. ruckus -> Beethoven had a famous one = smut
-6. morning -> deadly = cure
-7. saw logs? -> completely -> bid
-8. ability -> stir = boring
-9. garden cover -> coast = irrupt
-10. vulgar -> office supply = tugboat

7. snore -> quite = quote

9. mulch -> beach = belch

5. fight->fifth-> = filth

2. botch, lager, later

With help from sister OBelle

Hi Cue.

1 - quiet amass = amiss

Those are some talented scalpels!

Fil, the first word has an "L" shaped heart

3. Sharp -> chump = champ

That's a sharp answer, Lex

5. melee----fifth----filth

10. bawdy -> toner = tower

Nice puzzle Cue!

8 - means->blend = bland

6. sunup -> toxic = tonic

4. debut -> ardor = arbor

Your mothers would be proud!

Thanks, Bob
