If each six-letter word is divided into three pairs of letters, then combining the corresponding pairs within each row will produce three new eight-letter words:
ACcoST COmmIT LAunCH DEedED –> ACCOLADE communed STITCHED
Similarly, Dave has been uncovering pairs of 10-letter words that can be recombined to form 5 sets of 4-letter words:
calamitous newscaster : cane laws mica tost user
individual challenges : inch dial vile dung ales
locomotive investment : loin cove most time vent
malodorous threesomes : math lore does room uses
recuperate intestines : rein cute pest rain tees
(Thanks, Dave.)
