Anagrams and Antonyms
Language
Language brain teasers are those that involve the English language. You need to think about and manipulate words and letters.Language
Below are four (4) anagrams. You have two tasks to perform.
First, you must solve the anagram. Each phrase below is the anagram of a word. An anagram is a word that is spelled with the exact same letters as another word; for example, the word tired is an anagram of tried.
Second, you must then find the correct antonym of each word you just solved. An antonym is a word that means the opposite of another word; for example, the word wet is an antonym of the word dry.
I have given you the first letter of each antonym as well as the number of letters in the antonym. Good luck!
