The goal is to find words that can each be split into two bits that can be pieced with other bits to make other words. There will be four bits in all that can be combined as indicated by their positions. Bits consist of 2-5 letters. For example: 1,2 Terror 1,4 Heroic deeds 2,3 Curved entryway 3,4 Over-coffee talks Answer: fe/ar/ch/ats -A. 1, 2 Soda flavor 1, 4 Train (athletes) 2, 3 Not on time 3, 4 Educate B. 1, 2 More than once 1, 4 Time before dawn 2, 3 Give up 3, 4 Make happy C. 1, 2 Total amount 1, 4 Possessive pronoun 2, 3 Pry bar 3, 4 Stanza -D. 1, 2 Helicopter part 1, 4 Spoiled 2, 3 Satellite’s path 3, 4 Stung by a bee -E. 1, 2 Dry out completely 1, 4 Eat with others 2, 3 Facial feature 3, 4 Pipe opening, as a sewer F. 1, 2 Operate again 1, 4 Ink cartridge, for one 2, 3 Beneficial 3, 4 Satisfy -G. 1, 2 Woodworker’s machine 1, 4 In the future 2, 3 Dissertation 3, 4 Female sibling -H. 1, 2 Ache 1, 4 Dabs lightly 2, 3 Foot sections 3, 4 Treasure holders ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/3NQ6JY23/bat08.gif)
If you spell the words "absolutely nothing" backwards, you get "Gnihton yletulosba", which ironically means absolutely nothing.

If this is coffee, please bring me some tea; but if this is tea, please bring me some coffee.

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