This one was one of the hardest so far ... I missed 2 of them and one of them I still don't know the word even after seeing it lol.
I got world/word and lion/ion, but I'd never heard of the word cadre. It was fun, though!
Fun and challenging teaser. I was only able to get "lion" and "ion". I have never heard of "care" used as a synonym for concern or anxiety.
Managed to solve all but the first; I don't understand your definition of: "Word"?
