In each line below, start with a three-letter word from the clue given. Then add a letter to either the front or the back of that word to answer the clue in the next column. Keep doing this until you arrive at a six-letter word. For example, a typical sequence of answers might be can, cant, scant, scanty. This is a perfect opportunity to broaden your horizons!

I've been trying and trying, but I can't come up with a three letter word that fits those clues.
My suggestion is to look at the other words first and then see if a 3-letter word matches with it. I'll give an example: #6 - chicken part...wing - does a 3-letter word relating to victory fit in there? Yes! Win. Then continue...in debt add to be owing, and lawn must be mowing.
Ooooh I was doing it wrong. This whole time I was thinking that all the words in #1 all hinted at the three letter word and then #2 was the four letter word and so on. That's why I couldn't figure them out. LOL
Oooh..hehe. I'm glad I commented then. Brought some hope back to you.
