In Letter Hop, letters "hop" from one word to the next.

For each word in the list (except the first word), form two new valid words firstly by adding a letter which is removed from the previous word, then secondly by removing a different letter to form the second new valid word. This letter that is removed must then be added to the next word in the list. The removal of the letter from the first word in the list must also result in a new valid word. The sequence of the existing letters in each word must not be changed.

For example, given:
1. SINGE
2. RIND
3. MEANER

the answer would be:
1. SINGE - G = SINE
2. RIND + G = (G)RIND - D = GRIN
3. MEANER + D = MEAN(D)ER - A = MENDER

Good luck!

You were kidnapped and trapped in a basement.
You broke out of the basement and found a computer upstairs. You are able to navigate to a webpage to reach out for help. As soon as the message is sent, your location will be pinged and someone can find you.

However there is a problem...

All of the vowels on the keyboard are broken and you hear someone trying to unlock the front door, so you only have a few seconds to type a very short message.

What can you type without any vowels that will save your life?

For each of the following, find the "missing link" word related to the pair of words given. Each missing link word can be added after the first word of the pair, and inserted before the second word of the pair to form two two-word terms.

Example: hidden, chest Answer: treasure (hidden treasure, treasure chest)

Additionally, the "missing link" (answer) word of a given word pair combines with the "missing link" (answer) word of the subsequent word pair forming another two-word term, such that they form a continuous "chain" of word pairs from clue 1) through clue 6). As required, use this as an extra clue to find the next missing link word.

2) wedding, edition
3) birthday, card
4) dark, race
