A decent attempt, but I think you've missed the point.
The point of these missing words is that the word contained is otherwise unrelated to larger. There's nothing clever if you just remove the core word and make your puzzle from prefixes and suffixes.
For instance, TE_ _ _ _ R, with the missing word ACHE. "Ache" has nothing to do with the word "teacher" except for a coincidence of letters. That's what makes it tricky and fun.
Keep trying!
