Change each group of 10 words below into a “family” of different words (words or proper names that have something

in common) by dropping one letter from each word and then rearranging the remaining letters. For example, given

the entries HAUNT, HAIRDO, and ADVANCE, you could drop the N from HAUNT to get UTAH, drop the R from HAIRDO

for IDAHO, and drop the C from ADVANCE to get NEVADA, all in the category “U.S. states.” Can you reunite each family

by determining the category for each and unscrambling the 10 entries? All answers are single words. If you need help

getting started, a list of the four categories appears on page 70. ANSWERS, PAGE 80
