Links

While we're on the "common" theme, let's go with finding three common letters that will link the first answer word to the second.

Example: dress (7) <> alleviation (6) = appaREL RELief

-1. platform (6) <> rendezvous (5)
-2. plaid (6) <> word with oil or super (6)
-3. hog? (10) <> detergent (7)
-4. sponsor (8) <> landscape (7)
-5. exit (6) <> passageway (6)
-6. criticize severely (6) <> performer (8)
-7. stamp (7) <> determined (6)
-8. team symbol of good luck (6) <> bungalow (7)
-9. analogy (8) <> word with saw or quarter (5)
-10. enigmatic (7) <> voucher (6)

8 - mas cot tage

1. gan TRY st

7. impr int tent

Morning Cue.

10. crypTICket

2 - tar tan ker

3. motorcy CLE aner

4. Promo TER rain

9. metap hor se

6. sca the spian
