Have a Way with Words?

As an intern in the Verbal Branding Department here at Addison Whitney, I have taken on a whole new appreciation for words, letters, word parts, etc. Twisting, turning, disecting, combining, relocating, truncating; who knew so many actions were possible with one word? The following are a few riddles designed to give your brain a word workout.
