luv yaz....an anagram is a word whose letters can be rearrnaged to create several new words.
Like the word \"its\" can have its letters rearranged to \"sit\"
With the answer the three words (sever, serve, and verse) can all be rearranged to spell each other. Like sever can be rearranged to spell serve....and serve to spell verse.
Any more confusion?

Very clever

I liked that one. Duece took me a minute.
Very clever.
Pretty good, although I thought serve to deuce was stretching it a little.
thanx for teaching us all rapid but it was still boring and not fun if u ask me
Thank you Rabid for taking the time to explain to us what an "Anagram" is. You are nice and very kind, thanks! And yes the teaser was good... now that I understand!
Ohhhhh!! You can do better!!
Thought it was great
Good teaser. When I saw deuce, I was thinking "card game," like bridge or something. And since I'm an avid poker player, you can see where my frame of mind was...
Nice it took me a minuste but i got it still Thanks for it

I was thinking 'WORDS' ...
But it works for only the first and the last one - 'SWORD' & 'WORDS'
