Fun and quite challenging. I struggled with number 4. Good stuff!
Either I have a brain clog or else I am downright stupid, but I do not know what I am supposed to do on this one. I feel really dumb that the person above me knew what to do and I did not. Sorry!
@Babe They're acronyms. You need to come up with the missing word in case set of words, which will create an acronym that has a related meaning. For example:
The Ultimate [blank] Store
Taking the first letter of each word spells out TU_S
The word 'maternity' could fill the [blank], because The Ultimate Maternity Store spells out TUMS (another term for tummies, which visually relates to maternity).

#2&4 stumped me. Liked this one, guess I should have taken longer to think about them, maybe and I mean maybe, I would have figured them out!
I got the last two, but I felt like these were harder than they meant to be. Still a bit of fun, but not my favorite yet.
@Babe, I'm also a senior, but a junior to you.
Took me a while to understand the process; not a favourite( too many possible answers )?

Fun and entertaining teaser; I only got the first one. I got the wrong letter and word for #2 and the right letter but different words for the rest. I agree with the previous commenters that there are too many other possible answers.
