Can you spot the word link?

Are you able to spot the link between these words?

absorb, basic, card, done, elf, flag, gosh, hi?

That's the first set. DD

The link is that the first word begins with a and ends with b, the next begins with b and ends with c, and so on through the alphabet.

I had a feeling that joanlawson would be there first. It's possible to carry on for most of the alphabet, can't do i-j, or y-z. X-y is permissable with, obviously x-ray. With such puzzles do I amuse myself in the wee small hours when the joints are making their presence felt. I am currently stuck on 3 syllable words ending in /er/, such as another, banister, cleverer, disaster. I get stuck on the usual suspects in these lists, j and k being the worst. Sorry I posted something so easy! DD

Sit and have a little think, and you will find that you can carry it on. I'll get you started: jerk, keel, loam. Now, can you find m-n? I can provide a clue if you can't. DD

Hi DD I love word games too so, after a happy half hour with my dictionary this is what I have come up with (including definitions for words which I had never come across until today so no-one thinks I have invented them).
NardO - Australian cloverlike fern
OrloP - lowest deck of a ship
P Q - not a clue
QueeR
RecesS
SpraT
TiramasU
U V - not a clue
VieW
WaX
XylopyrograpY - designs made on wood with a hot poker
Y Z - not a clue

Tilly,

What about simply UV as the abbreviation for ultraviolet or isn't that allowed.

I do make exceptions - no English word ends in/v/ alone, so /ve/ is permitted, along with /que/ so I include pique and - oh, mind's gone blank. Can't remember the u-v one. Blast. DD
