Linkword

This game is relatively straightforward in that you just have to find one word that links two words.  The first word given as a clue ends with the linkword and the second word given as a clue starts with the linkword.  So, for example, we could have the following:

 

Pin**** and ****teaser.  In this example the missing word would be Prick - ie: Pinprick and Prickteaser.

 

I'll give you another one to start the thread off - if you feel like having a go see if you can work out the answer and then submit your own two words following the same format as described above once you have answered the post.  So, to start off with, we have:

 

Fire**** and ****reading

Linkword

Is it Red?  ie:  Redfoot - a fatal disease affecting newborn lambs in which the red laminae below the horny layers of the feet become exposed due to separation of the horny layers, and Redback - an extremely venomous spider native to Australia with a red stripe down the back of its body.  However, the linkword is supposed to go in the centre, as it makes up the second half of the first word and the first half of the second word, thus linking the two clues and giving the game its name of "Linkword".

 

And yes Taylor-Books, the answer to my previous post was Strip.  Smiley Happy

Was it Cloth?  I can't think of any words that link both words without having to place a space between either of the two clues in order to find the answer, and this was all I could think of...

Yes, Taylor-Books, it was Cap.

 

Is the missing word Boat - ie:  Sauceboat and Lifeboat? 

 

One thing I've noticed with this thread is that people often seem to miss the point of the game.  The object of the game is to find a word that fits in the centre - ie:  where the word "and" or the "&" symbol is located - thus providing the link between the first word and the second word.  The missing word is supposed to be the end of the first word and the start of the second word, thus linking the two words.  That's why the game is called Linkword!  Smiley Frustrated

 

Anyway, back to the thread:

 

Snow**** and ****kick
