You can replace the dashes with the same four-letter word, and create two new words, one that starts with ARM, and one that ends in ING.

Can you find all possible four-letter words that work?
arm----
   ----ing

Answer
Band, load, lock, and rest, all create new words:

armband and banding
armload and loading
armlock and locking
armrest and resting

Note
Some dictionaries also allow ARMRACK, but others don't. So RACK is a unofficial possible answer.

 

Note: BrainBashers has a Dark Mode option. For BrainBashers, I'd recommend not using your browser's built-in dark mode, or any dark mode extensions (sometimes you can add an exception for a specific website).
