PUZZLE #341: Eat Your Words 6

PUZZLE #341
EAT YOUR WORDS 6

In this puzzle, the words hinted at by the numbered clues (The "Numbered Words") can "eat" a word hinted at by a different set of clues (The "Eaten Words") without rearranging any of the letters. For example, the word BIT can eat the word AND to form BANDIT. All of the new words are entered into the grid in the order of the Numbered Words, and the Eaten Words are in no particular order.

Once all of the new words have been placed, the letters in the highlighted third column will spell out two more words. Insert one of the column's new words into the other to get the FINAL ANSWER: The name of a board game


NUMBERED WORDS
1) "_____ for the Moment" (Eminem tune that samples Aerosmith's "Dream On")
2) Maggie from The Buzz on Maggie, for one (HINT: she's a bug that's usually pesky)
3) Gymnastic cushions
4) TV service that cord-cutters get rid of
5) Nikki Bella's wrestling twin
6) 2000s ABC drama set on an island with polar bears and a "smoke monster"
7) Rip and tear to shreds
8) "Guilty" or "not guilty" statement
9) Pointy prong on a pitchfork

EATEN WORDS
• Andy's son in The Andy Griffith Show
• Commodore or commander, e.g.
• God of thunder playable in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes
• Have possession of
• Kiss from a canine
_____ Management (Adam Sandler/Jack Nicholson film)
• Rock trio with a hit song about a white room with black curtains
• Uno y dos
• Word preceding "ballerina" or "donna"

Once you think you know what the FINAL ANSWER is, send it to either redhead64@chartermi.net or itsredhead64@gmail.com (though I'm more likely to check the second one) and I'll put your name on a solvers list once I post the answers in about two weeks. You can also use those email addresses to give me some comments and feedback (or even ask for a hint, though you'll be marked as having used one if you do so) or send me the answer to last week's puzzle, if you haven't already figured it out. If you have a printer and want to solve this puzzle on paper, just head below the break for a link to a .PDF version which you can print out!
