Nine-letter words are provided with instructions to insert one letter somewhere inside each to create familiar ten-letter words. The example shows MEDIATION with C making MEDICATION or T making MEDITATION. The listed nine-letter words are IMPERIOUS, HEADWATER, PACEMAKER, REHEARING, SIMULATED, GEOLOGIST, ETERNALLY, MINESTONE, and IMPLEMENT. A prior puzzle required changing the first letter of a famous athlete's last name to L and rearranging to form another famous athlete; the solution was Simone Biles → Lionel Messi. A current puzzle requires naming a famous English author, changing the first letter of the last name to S, then moving three specified letters of that last name in front of the first name to form a major American city. Entries are due by Thursday, September 4 at 3 p.m. ET for a chance to play on air.
I'm going to give you some nine-letter words. For each one, insert a letter somewhere inside it to make a familiar 10-letter word. Ex.
