SPICY GERMAN SAUSAGE 6
(click here for a PDF version)
In a German Sausage, a type of puzzle originating from the National Puzzlers League, when you take the indicated pairs of answers to the clues from the first list, combine their letters, and anagram them, you get the answers to the clues from the second list. (For example, if the answers to clues 1 and 2 were ANAGRAM and SEGUES, then the answer to clue 1+2 could be GERMAN SAUSAGE.) However, in this variation, you must add an extra letter to each pair of answers to make the longer answer (for example, you might make GERMAN SAUSAGE from ANAGRAM and GUESS plus an extra E).
Rearrange the added letters in (parentheses) to make a 6-letter word, and rearrange the added letters in [square brackets] to make a 6-letter word. Write these words in the final set of blanks, and rearrange the letters in {curly braces} to make a 6-letter word, the final answer. (These three words are all Scrabble-legal, meaning they are unhyphenated, uncapitalized, etc.)

2. Frame used for setting up pool balls
3. Dutch ____ disease
4. Mexican lager brand
5. Act of crowd violence
6. City with 71 streets named “Peachtree”
7. More frigid
