Example: floor covering > insertion point mark = carpet > caret (P)
4 > 3 Letters
-1. area > the loneliest number -2. wheel shaft > fermented drink -3. be familiar with > immediately
5 > 4 Letters
-4. monster > discovery -5. narrow sea inlet > walk through a creek -6. use a divining rod > medicate -7. pinto horse > breathe rapidly -8. common syrup flavor > dude -9. carry > two masted sailing ship -10. glide > rate -11. obligated > join -12. aspect > confront -13. spoils > kick -14. sprout > injection
6 > 5 Letters
-15. roar > under -16. libel > straighten -17. hit > baffled -18. declare > resource -19. rare > startle -20. pulverize > strength -21. smother > vertical window part -22. overturn > still -23. division > hacienda
