#EnigMarch Today's puzzle is losing money! If we take the word CENT out of CENTER, you'll be left with ER. I've removed a unit of currency or other word associated with money from other words (or in 2 instances, phrases) leaving the strings seen in the next post.

Oh, I almost forgot. I changed one letter in each of the two words. So the clue would appear as, say, HURTING PICKETS. Please provide all three words in your answer (HUNTING SEASON TICKETS). One per person as usual.
#EnigMarch Day 2: COLOR
I'll give you two words. The first word can precede the name of a color to make a 2-word phrase or name. The second word can follow that color to make a 2-word phrase or name. For example, using yesterday's prompt of SEASON as the middle, the words could be HUNTING TICKETS.
I think you did it exactly right!
1. ORIGINALLY (2 2/5)
2. MOUNTING (5/7)
3. ROD (4/6)
4. SHAWL (4/6)
5. EXPIRED (4/5)
6. BLUFF (3/5)
7. ADULTS (3/4)
8. FLAKE (3/6)
9. UNREAL (5/7)
10. XIAMEN (4/6)
11. PIQUE (4/7)
12. DIATRIBE (4/6)
13. QUALITY (4/6)
14. GIRDLE (4/7)
15. NOTARIZE (4/6)
16. TRILL (4/7)
17. IRATE (4/7)
Clues are given in alphabetical order of the words they hint at. Feel free to answer a clue, but only give one to let others have a chance. I also encourage you to provide your own clues for others to guess.
For example, if the clue were CHILD (3/6), "child" is a hint for "son" which is 3 letters. Precede "son" with the sound C, and you'll get SEASON. Note that the clued word will always keep its spelling but may change its pronunciation when the letter sound is added in front.
#Enigmarch Day 1: SEASON
I'm going to give you a clue for a word. If you precede the new word with the sound of the first letter of the clue, you'll get a brand-new word. I'll give enumerations for both the word being clued, and the word once the letter is added to it.
