For no reason in particular, here's one more batch of these inverted riddles from last year, where the solutions are what you'd usually use as the wordplay clues in a Riley Riddle. Here's how it goes:
You get three words.
You must find one solution word that you can attach..
- to the beginning of one of the three words, (you have to figure out which one)
- somewhere in the middle of another, and
- to the end of the remaining word,
so that in each case, a new, single word is formed.
All the words here are very random, and some of them are even very rare, but every clue, result, and solution word is going to be strictly valid in Scrabble.
- dally - can - infer
- killer - bets - pa
- blesses - ruff - arse
- lier - reed - bar
If you get stuck, you can combine the solutions to find a motivational phrase that may help you along.
As always, any feedback and improvement suggestions will be highly appreciated. (Oh, and sorry about the "bets", I originally had "wart", but the Scrabble dictionary let me down there.)

@Dewey823 Sorry, my point is that the first word uses the prefix, the second uses the infix and the third, the suffix. The wording of the riddle suggests that this order may have been mixed up in some of the examples.
