Even Steven #89
How to play:
Even Steven puzzles are an excellent workout for crossword solvers. Each pair of lines below contains two clues and two 5- or 6-letter answers. The two answers are words which differ from each other by one letter, which has been provided in red. The remaining letters are ordered exactly the same in both answers. Your challenge is to guess the words from the two clues. For example, from the clues "Full of life" and "Exquisitely beautiful," you can arrive at the answers "LIVELY" and "LOVELY."
