Below are 10 sets of letters that correspond to one of 10 clues. Your goal is to find a common word or name that is formed by adding one of the sets of letters to a word given by the clue.

Note that the letter order in the sets of letters and in the clues must be the same. Additionally, clues can refer to any set of letters; it is your job to determine which clue refers to which set of letters.

Oh my goodness :) I really liked this! Even though I only got 4 of the answers before I just couldn't think anymore!! lol... I might suggest maybe narrowing some possibilities-Maybe instead of "Super Smash Bros Character," you could use "Zelda Character" (Just because there are SO many super smach bros ones! And especially since we don't even know which letter combos go with which clues..it might help a little) I did really like this though! It was very challenging and that was definitely refreshing :D Great Job!!!
