PUZZLE, March 4th, 2013

There were more possible answers than I expected--congratulations to all of you who had correct answers.


Previous Puzzle--one possible answer.
1. a/at/rat/tear/treat
2. a/as/sea/seal/false/flames
3. u/us/sun/urns/nurse/nursed/undress
New Puzzle
Let’s try the same thing this week. Add one letter at a time to make a new word: example a to adios (a/as/sad/dais/adios)
  1. u … super
  2. e … hamper
  3. o … erosion
There may be more than one correct answer again, so more than one bonus point may be awarded. All words used must be in the dictionary, not a proper noun, and each one must build upon the previous word.
