PUZZLE, Feb. 15th, 2013



Previous Puzzle:  Congratulations to Aygul and Yadiriny for good, but different, answers.
Use real names to find the common word that is the name of their son or daughter—there were more than one correct answer to some of these:
Example: Mr and Mrs Voyant - Clare (as in Clairvoyant)
1. Mr and Mrs Tress--Mattress
2. Mr and Mrs Nasium—Gymnasium (Jim)
3. Mr and Mrs Tate—Dictate (Dick)
4. Mr and Mrs Anthemum—Chrysanthemum (Chris)
5. Mr and Mrs Mander—Salamander (Sally)
6. Mr and Mrs Mite—Dynamite (Dinah)
7. Mr and Mrs Time—Just in time (Justin)
New Puzzle: Add one letter at a time to make a new word: example a to adios (a/as/sad/dais/adios)
  1. a … treat
  2. a … flames
  3. u … undress
There may be more than one correct answer, so more than one bonus point to be awarded. All words used must be in the dictionary not a proper noun.
