Change the four letter words on the left to the five letter words on the right by giving and taking letters. Add one letter to the word in the START column to form a five letter word. Then subtract a letter from that word to form a new four letter word. Next, add a letter to that four letter word to form a new five letter word. Take away a letter from that five letter word to form a new four letter word. Finally, add a letter to that four letter word that will make the five letter word in the FINISH column.

Warning: The answer for #9 contains an archaic spelling of a word. Well, it's still used in crossword puzzles. yes

Solving tips: Find the common, and uncommon letters, between the starting word and the ending word. When a five letter word is created, include one of the uncommon letters from the ending word. When a four letter word is created, remove an uncommon letter from the starting word.

Code:
	START	5 LTR	4 LTR	5 LTR	4 LTR	FINISH

	Example:

	VEST	STOVE	TOES	THOSE	SHOT	SHORT

--1.	WREN					ROBIN
--2.	STEM					STALK
--3.	TRAP					SNARE
--4.	COAT					SCARF
--5.	DATE					PEACH
--6.	ROSE					THORN
--7.	RAKE					SPADE
--8.	VEIL					COVER
--9.	RHEM					RIVEN
--10.	DELI					BREAD

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

Nice solve, Michele. thumbsup

And a jump start for the last one....
The archaic spelling of "rhyme" is the first five-letter word
