Predator and Prey Scramble
Language brain teasers are those that involve the English language. You need to think about and manipulate words and letters.
Unscramble the words below and follow the instructions in parentheses.
1. REDE (Take the 3rd letter)
2. SAVEREB (Take the 4th letter)
3. HERSWS (Take the 5th letter)
4. OSINB (Take the 4th letter)
5. SOMEO (Take the 4th letter)
6. LETANPOE (Take the 5th letter)
Now unscramble the letters you got to find your answer.
Answer
1. DEER, E
2. BEAVERS, V
3. SHREWS, W
4. BISON, O
5. MOOSE, S
6. ANTELOPE, L
EVWOSL unscrambles to become WOLVES. Wolves have been known to hunt deer, beavers, shrews, bison, moose, and antelope, among other things. Although a pack of wolves generally likes bigger game like bison, a single wolf will eat smaller things like shrews. They will even eat earthworms and fruits if they must.

| Didn't have time today to unscramble and put letters together. Should have waited until later. I did figure out the first word, then quit. Sorry.  |

| Good one. I kept getting "bereaves" instead of beavers, until I saw I was adding an extra E. Next time I'll use pen & paper! |

| I got the words but forgot the topic. So I came up with "vowels" for my answer. I make the simplest teasers into rocket science.  |

| i feel sorry for the poor wolf who has to survive on shrews  ...btw, if you like wolves, you'll like the book "The Loop", written by the same guy who brought you "The Horse Whisperer".....lol |

| Nice job. I also came up with vowels, but then remembered the title and all the rest were animals so figured it had to be wolves. Thnks for subitting. |

| Lots of fun! Easy with pencil and paper, but still required enough thinking to work it out. That's the way I like'em! |

The wolves were hiding too well for me, and I was stuck wondering what VOWELS have to do with predator and prey...
DARN! |

| Feste is right, they will eat a cat if they can find one. They also eat foxes, livestock, birds and bear cubs. Not to mention that the ones that live in the Far North will grab a seal if it finds one. Great Job! |

| Hey, how do you get points? I am really wondering.... only have 26 and I want 250! Hahaz. But how do you? Anyone may tell me. I have been looking forward for posting my own teasers, and then today my account was six days old, and I try to make a teaser, but it says you only have 26 points, and you need 250.! I am so bummed!): Sorry I had to come to you. Your teaser was the first teaser I saw, and I don't have any friends that I can message this, and noyone will answer on my post! Thanks. |

| WHAT??? All these animals were killed by VOWELS? Makes "Wheel of Fortune" seem a little more dangerous. |

Nov 23, 2009
| Dsjt, there were killled by Wolves. What did you guess? Vowels? I guessed right. It seems that I was practically the only one who did. Haha |
