This comes from one of those page-a-day calendars. There are many dozens of such torn-off pages stashed all over the place, around here. I'll never see them all. ?

In each puzzle below, we've strung together a series of words in a specific category, removed one letter from each word, and then closed up the spaces. The letters we removed, in order, spell another other item in that category.

For example: E R C U R Y S T U R N E A T H V E N U is missing the M from MERCURY, the A from SATURN, the R from EARTH, and the S from VENUS, which together spell MARS -- a planet, like the other items in that category.

Can you figure out the original words and the extra item spelled by the missing letters?

1. W T E R F R E E A T H

2. O L L A K M U C O D O R

3. F T H E R N C L E I E C E S I S E R

4. A L H A R O X

I like #4. (Wish I'd thought of doing something like that.)
