Braingle: 'Operation: Weather-Ectomy' Brain Teaser

Operation: Weather-Ectomy

Language brain teasers are those that involve the English language. You need to think about and manipulate words and letters.

Puzzle ID:	#26913

Difficulty:	(3.13)
Category:	Language
Submitted By:	cnmne

Six words have had their weather terms removed. The weather terms have been placed into Group A. The remaining letters of each word have been placed into Group B. Your task is to reconstitute the words by merging each weather term with the proper set of letters. Other than merging the two groups together, there is no rearranging of the letters. Example: sand + pne = spanned (SpANneD).

Group A: cloud, hail, rain, sleet, storm, wind
Group B: arngg, astba, atage, bevora, diabmn, higa

Answer

cloud + atage = catalogued (CataLOgUeD)
hail + bevora = behavioral (beHAvIoraL)
rain + arngg = arranging (aRrAngINg)
sleet + diabmn = disablement (diSabLEmEnT)
storm + higa = histogram (hiSTOgRaM)
wind + astba = waistband (WaIstbaND)

scm14 Nov 14, 2005	No clue. Really clever though. Good job!!
buttons03 Nov 27, 2005	Whew! That was HARD! But I thought it was very creative, and I liked it a lot. Keep them coming, maybe I will get better at them!
mogur Dec 16, 2005	Liked this one alot, but must admit, after figuring a few out, I got lazy. Wish they had a logic grid type scratchpad so I wouldn't have to use pencil and paper.
bluehawk Dec 16, 2005	yea! this one was a stumper. didn't get a single one. too hard 4 me.
gali Dec 16, 2005	Too hard for me!!!
saleprice Dec 16, 2005	Whoa! Way too hard for me! It`s only 6 am & I am not awake yet LOL

saleprice Dec 16, 2005	Thx
speediebean Dec 16, 2005	Oh boy, this one was absolutely faaaaannn-shmabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wish there were higher ratings to choose from, 'cause, IMHO, this one surely deserves a 21-thumbs-up!!! (of course, the fact that I was only able to figure out 3 of 'em is beside the point) Please oh please oh please keep crankin' some more of these out!?!?!
Terilynne88 Dec 16, 2005	I give very few comments, but this one deserves a definite thumbs up for creativity! I was able to get the last five after looking at the first one. This one was great! GOOD JOB!

christine77 Dec 16, 2005	didnt get any of them, but what a good teaser...i enjoyed trying.
kman613 Dec 16, 2005	too much brainpower for me this morning... couldn't quite get them, and at first I thought the new word was still a weather term. oh well
overnormal Dec 16, 2005	Verrry challenging! How fun! Boy, I didn't get it!
BATBrain Dec 16, 2005	Like person above I had to look at answer to 1st one before I ofollowed the approach. Then got the rest of them when I realized things did have to be fully integrated but stayed in same order - first though you had to keep each element totally tother but insert someplace . When that didn't work went to other extreme and just mixed up all the letters - Anyway GREAT PUZZLE - maybe just a little clarification would have been nice.
boriqua Dec 16, 2005	Lost
DeeAnn Dec 16, 2005	Wow, that was hard, I only got arranging. Really good job, I had alot of fun trying.
Y_M_A_05 Dec 16, 2005	That was soooo hard i was rearanging the wrong way ....I feel stupid!!!!
musicman1004 Dec 16, 2005	I've been a lurker here for a while, but I had to register just to give this one 2 big thumbs up! I had to use pen and paper, but I finally got them all.

randomind223 Dec 16, 2005	Har dbut good. I didn't really get the whole problem. Keep it comin'!!!
jabdr Dec 16, 2005	Hmmm. I got two of them and loved this concept. I should have worked longer on 2 of them but didn't know 'histogram' at all. Need to improve my vocab I guess. GREAT ONE!
Lucasgal Dec 16, 2005	GOOD ONE!
stephiesd Dec 16, 2005	great teaser!!! this is the hardest rated one i've seen. usually the really hard ones aren't fun, but this was great.
(user deleted) Dec 16, 2005	I came up with coagulated instead of catalogued for cloud + atage. You might want to add that to the answers as a possibility.
(user deleted) Dec 16, 2005	um, scratch previous comment. I forgot to keep the letters in order. OOPS!!!!
steveingreenwoo Dec 16, 2005	WHAT?
shawneeo Dec 16, 2005	Yeah, that was very HARD! But I like that! I also didn't know the word "histogram", although I kept trying to use those two together... Very good, Thanks, this must have taken some work to create!
tbech7430 Dec 17, 2005	That wasn't even any fun!
(user deleted) Dec 17, 2005	didn't get histogram... not bad
WJSMama Dec 18, 2005	That was the hardest one I've come across, but still a lot of fun trying to figure it out (Which I couldn't)
Brainy_1 Dec 19, 2005	Well, you certainly got me! I thought the words were supposed to be weather terms! But, you got me good!! Fun teaser, even tho I didn't have a clue!! Excuse now, I'm going out to find a clue!!
Amali Dec 19, 2005	I didnt get any of them but it was a cool teaser I think its because I dint really try nice one tho
