Words pair up, unzip, and produce children
$begingroup$
Watch in this example as the words PARLOUS and MANIAC pair up and unzip to produce PROSAIC and ALUMNA:
PARLOUS MANIAC
PARLOUS MANIAC
PARLOUSMANIAC
P R O S A I C
A L U M N A
PROSAIC
ALUMNA
In the example above, we will refer to PROSAIC as the firstborn child because it holds the first letter ("P").
I have created 25 more such word families, but I have only given you the firstborn child. See if you can determine the rest of the family (i.e., the two parents and the second child).
- SARDINES
- FUTURES
- GENESIS
- GENTLE
- CENSER
- BRAINED
- PINCER
- BADDIE
- POISON
- GATORS
- GUSHED
- WAGONS
- PORTED
- SUREST
- PENNED
- TRIALS
- TIPPED
- CLIMES
- CRONES
- TAPERS
- UNREAL
- SALTED
- SACRED
- GENRES
- CLOSES

Heck, no! Python and a reasonable dictionary makes this stuff not too tricky. There's was a bit of optimization to get this one working. It would be very hard to do without a computer I think.
