Kangaroo Words 2
Language brain teasers are those that involve the English language. You need to think about and manipulate words and letters.
Female kangaroos carry their young (joeys) in a pouch. Likewise, kangaroo words contain another word (a joey) within themselves. A joey word is a synonym of the kangaroo word, and the letters must be in the same order.
Example: "rapscallion" contains the word "rascal": RApSCALlion
See if you can find the joey words in these kangaroo words:
1. because
2. astound
3. municipality
4. charisma
5. damsel

Answer
1. as (becAuSe)
2. stun (aSToUNd)
3. city (muniCIpaliTY)
4. charm (CHARisMa)
5. dame (DAMsEl)
6. male / man (MAscuLinE / MAsculiNe)

| What fun! I didn't get the first one and I could fin just "man" in the last one. I like teasers that make me think , but are easy enough to have some success. I like the concept. Good job!
