Very good! I found it really hard!
Got one, no time for the rest. Rated it fun. Off to work...
WOW I LOVE a challenge and this quiz certainly provided that! The only one I was close to was sedimentary for bird bed. I was thinking dreamy nest and there weren't enough letters in the word for that! Thanks for a good one. If I had had more time and a cup of coffee first, I might have done better. Great job. Thanks for posting.
Thank you for this fun and challenging teaser; I love anagrams and I got them all - two right away but took awhile to get the rest. I will look forward to more teasers like this.
nice teaser, good job!
I loved this one. Maybe my favorite anagram one of all time. I eventually got them all except "cart mishap". I was stuck on "___ crash", and couldn't for the life of me figure out what word the letters 'mapit' could form.
Great job!
Great job!
