ENDLESS LOVE

By Roger Barkan and Angela Lavoie

The words must find "endless love" by losing their last letters
("endless") and pairing up ("love"). Put into alphabetical order, the
resulting words are:

ARIZONA (ARId + ZONAl)
BEEFIEST (BEEp + FIESTa)
EDISON (EDIt + SONg)
FALLOPIAN (FALLOw + PIANo)
FLAMINGO (FLAMe + INGOt)
GEARCHANGE (GEm + ARCHANGEl)
IRATEST (IRAq + TESTy)
ITERATING (ITEm + RATINGs)
MICROBUS (MICe + ROBUSt)
OSAGES (Ox + SAGESt)
SNORKEL (SNORt + KELp)
SOLICIT (SOLId + CITy)
STRANGLE (STRANGe + LEg)
TIMPANI (TIMe + PANIc)
UTENSIL (Up + TENSILe)

Reading down the second letters of these words spells RED ALERT IS NOT
IT. Thus the answer is not RED ALERT, but is REALER (REd + ALERt).
