The following clues lead to six and five letter answers respectively. The answer to the second clue is the first clue answer minus one letter with no anagramming necessary. Identify the two words and the letter of the alphabet that applies.
Plenty to go around so take a couple if you like.
Example: floor covering > insertion point mark = carpet > caret (P)
-1. bends > escapes
-2. comrade > sauteed
-3. creed > contradict
-4. crystalline mineral > unit of measure
-5. digit > more delicate
-6. firm > hackneyed
-7. flip > still
-8. Green Bay athlete > car model
-9. guiding light > hog product
-10. hidden > hiding place
-11. insult > pastel
-12. intellect > type
-13. jeopardy > fury
-14. livestock area > marine organism
-15. Looking Glass says she's a fine girl > identifying mark
-16. rein > modify
-17. slang > window gas
-18. specialist > put forth
-19. squabble > hog rider
-20. stake > peak of a building side wall
-21. throaty > charger
-22. veer > minister
-23. wake up > got up
-24. watering hole > beauty shop
-25. yell > lower
Did you ever stop to think and then forget to start again?
