The answer to these clues is two words that are one letter different from one another. All answers are six letters.
Example: fringe / more adventurous = border / bolder
-1. bug / alloy containing tin -2. move about restlessly / thingamajig -3. peace / overthrow -4. gloomy / anxiety -5. car part / let down -6. excite / game bird -7. provoke / chisel -8. rue / hidden -9. breakfast food / puzzle -10. realm / pass

7. itch/etch? Seems a bit of a stretch.
Bob As I've grown older, I've found that my memory is not as good as I used to think it was.

Guess number two...
7. incite/incise
I know about incisors in my mouth but not sure about there being a word incise.
