Every word clued by an entry in the list on the left turns into a word from the right when its first letter is moved to the end of the word. The right-hand list is given in alphabetical order by clue, so the answers here are in the order given by the left-hand side:
- SNAIL (NAILS)
- TRIPES (RIPEST)
- ETHER (THERE)
- AKRON (KRONA)
- LETHE (ETHEL)
- APIS (PISA)
- SLAYER (LAYERS)
- ASHE (SHEA)
- DRAKE (RAKED)
- O-RING (RING0)
- RANGE (ANGER)
- ASPIC (SPICA)
- FLEA (LEAF)
- OVERS (VERSO)
- EMANATE (MANATEE)
The letters that move, in the same order, spell out the phrase STEAL, AS A DORA FOE. This is SWIPE, with a reference to Swiper, from Dora the Explorer. Repeating the same pattern and moving the first letter to the end gives WIPES, the solution to the puzzle.
