Incomplete Compounds 4

Sun, 23/03/2025 - 08:00
As newly-appointed chief community chemist, your task is to complete the following compounds by finding the bonding element which these compounds have in common. This element (i.e. word) may be joined with each clue word, either before or after it, to form a compound word. Thus, each clue word constitutes half of a compound word, and the answer word completes each of these compound words. The two component words comprising each compound word (i.e. the clue word and the answer word) may be separated by a space or a hyphen.

For example, given the clue words:
park, room, soft, joint

the answer would be:
ball

since "ball" may be joined with each given clue word to form the following compound (or phrasal) words respectively:

ballpark, ballroom, softball, ball joint


Good luck with your compound formation!


1. food, paint, index, nail
2. club, fall, path, ball
3. span, man, swept, buffalo
4. spin, coat, pipe, pig
