Mad Ade's Minus Letter Anagrams #10
In this teaser the idea is to identify the blanked words. The secret is that each word is an anagram of the previous word, but minus one letter.
For example:
The ------- mopped up the spilt ------ and then made sure all the work surfaces were -----.
The answer for the first word would be "Cleaner", then remove the "N" to make "Cereal", then remove an "E" to make "Clear".
Now try these:
Aladdin noticed whilst -------- that smoke was
------- from his -----'- lamp.
The old ------- has become a bit of a ------; only yesterday he told everyone he ----- his car to work.
The cocky --------- soon stopped -------- when all their ------- broke down.
