re: objecting to the solution Comment 15 of 15 |
(In reply to objecting to the solution by Emily)

I know this is a reply to an old comment and the solution is already posted, but I wished to provide an addendum to give a more complete solution:

Alternatives:

(DEVOTE, PROPER)
   <==> (DEPOT, PROVER)

 PROVER: PROVE; ROVER

(NORTH, STOWED) 
   <==> (WORTH, STONED)

(TIMBER, APPEND, BEGAN, PROPER, RABBIT)
   <==> (IMBED, PENGO, PANNES, PROBER, BRITH)

 PANNES: PANNE
 PROBER: PROBE

[From the alternative solutions proffered by Charlie with some additional word alternatives]:
 (DEVOTE, NORTH, SAUNTER, STOWED, PROPER)
   <==> (DENOTE, WORTH, VAUNT, [SEDAN & PROPER] OR [PEDANT & PROSE])
 
 BLOOM : ABLOOM; BLOOMS; LOOMS
 PROPER: OPERA; ROPER
 MAILED: AILED
 RABBIT: RABBI
 PEDANT: TOPED
 PROSE : PROSER

And,
[from the alternative solution proffered by Penny]:
 (DEVOTE, SAUNTER, STOWED, PROPER, JUDGE, TOKEN)
   <==> (DEPOT, JAUNT, STOVE, PROKE, CRESS, ATONE)
