All of the words listed below have a meaning related to "old."

And, as you have probably noticed, their vowels have been removed.

Your mission...

Should you choose to accept it...is to recover the original vowels.

So, for example, "BEGIN" would be BGN.

So from the STRT, let's BGN

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