| I love anagrams. However, I didnt understand the instructions. Add one letter to the given letters. I thought you meant you'd provide a clue to the answer by giving one letter on the right side of the equals sign, plus one or all of the letters at the top. |

| Wow, that was tough, but for some reason, I kept at it ... kept coming back to it ........ was completely stumped for a long time, until I finally STEPPEd in the right direction, and started to see the FOREST for the trees. I was stuck in a RAVINE for awhile, but when I saw that I had reached the LAGOON I knew I was close to my goal...... and I finished before I turned into a GEYSER -- or geezer, I guess. (I half apologize for the bad use of puns; the other half is still giggling about finding a way to use the teaser answers in a paragraph!)
This could've been the best anagram puzzle I've ever done. I'm not sure if I like anagrams yet, but I think it depends on my mood. Today the mood was good, and the solving skills were right with me on that! Thanks for the ROCK'ing good time. |

| I did not even try because I guess I am not very bright. I did not know what a geographical term was. I thought North, South etc. What makes "forest" geographical please? |

| Babe, insofar as all of the nouns in this puzzle are features of the landscape,they can be considered to be "geographical," though it might perhaps have been more accurate to call them "topographical." |

| I got steppe and ravine pretty readily, and lagoon with a moment's thought, but I gave up before I could get forest, and definitely could not see geyser, as it's hard for me to get 'y' off the end of a word! Thanks for the good teaser! |

| Babe, these are geographical, in that each could be charted on a map. Forests are the least likely to be charted, certainly, but they can still appear in maps & atlases if they are especially reknowned, like National Forests (differentiated even from National Parks here in the U.S.), and some regions can be named for forests like Transylvania or Pennsylvania (sylvania meaning forest in Latin). |
