| GREAT n.n; ... but one thing ... mite be wrong on this one but oh well -- um if its opposite from its unscrambled version wouldnt it mean that the one thats 'funeral' would be 'wedding' or something? -- shouldnt it be opposite from its scrambled version? x.x; well, nice one anyhow

| To swordflame and spence06281, evangelists are the the authors of the new testiment books of the Bible Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. They are not evil. They are good and are the opposite of evils agents |

| Hmm, "astronomers" and "no more stars" aren't really opposites. Astronomers certainly would be out of work if there were no more stars, and generally one does not need to exist without the other, but I wouldn't say that they possess antithetical meanings.
And good point, spence. |

| Nice one and very difficult - would have helped if you gave an example.
People are being too picky to expect to find an exact opposite the can be an anagram - these are words not number - they don't have exact rules. |

| Great teaser. Figured out they weren't really opposites, but just sort of opposite. Fun puzzle, would like more like these  |
shawneeo   
Dec 09, 2005
| rEALLY good,Skaven, and also difficult! I agree with the above, I would have enjoyed it much more if there had been at leasts one example. For instance, I , for some reason, was thinking that if there were two words: evil's agents, then the solution would have two words. And, I wasn't sure how exact the opposite was supposed to be, so an example could have solved both those problems. But still, that doesn't take away from a very, very good teaser, and unique also! Thanks!!!!!

| when something is supposed to be opposite i expect it to be opposite. silly me  |
suganue   
Dec 09, 2005
| I agree with tangerine. i thought once i unscramble it i had to think of the opposite word for the unscramble version.
by the way the word evangelist literally meants: Christians who convert others so TRUE EVANGELISTS not evil. the ones who are deceivers may be evil's agents, but then they are not truly evangelist. |

Dec 09, 2005

| My brain is totally unfocused today. I couldn't think long enough to work these - although I'm impressed.
I did think one thing was interesting - I was unsure of the directions, and decided to look up "anagram" on my MS Office reference - the example it gave was "No More Stars - Astronomers"! So, at least I got one the easy way! |
POPS

AbsurdHero   
Dec 22, 2006
| I liked this one, nice and hard. I didn't get the fourth one because it was a bit obscure and not exactly an opposite, but I did get a couple amusing anagrams out of it, including:
SOAR MONSTER
NO EAR STORMS
MORONS TEARS
and
RESTROOM-SAN (A particularly creepy Japanese gentleman.) |

| like several others, I don't think evangelists are the opposite of evil agents and certainly not the reverse! |
anodyne  
Dec 22, 2006
| I didnt understand the directions. For example, I thought each word had to be rearranged to form another word, not BOTH words together. i.e. REAL FUN. Well that could be EARL and what?? NUF ? I didnt realize I was to put all those letters together REALFUN to form ONE word. oh well. |

| Great teaser i Like this one
I rated it FULL fun and Full hard
cos thats what it is  |
wordmama 
Dec 24, 2006
| 'The idea of the teaser was definitely cool, but I had two difficulties with it: the main one is it would have very helpful if the instructions stated that the answers are all one word. I could not go in that direction on my own with all the prompts 2 or 3 words.
Also, astronomers was in no way an opposite; of course it was hard to make them all opposites, but if it doesn't fit the instructions of the puzzle, it shouldn't be included! |
Qrystal   
Jan 08, 2007
| Ouch, I'm glad I gave up on these after only a few minutes. I was stumped on them all, though I hoped that "once evil" could be considered an opposite to "nice love", and I really should've gotten evangelists because I was terribly close in my permutations of the letters and the words I was getting were starting to remind me of evangelists. Oops! |

| I, too, thought that because each puzzle was 2 words, that each answer would be 2 words. I could get as far as "angel --- " for the first one, but couldn't get any further - when I finally looked at the answers, it made sense! - Nice job - Good teaser.  |

cw3theophilus  
Dec 25, 2009
| Good one . I got them all . Those who think this is hard should really learn to use technology, I typed this into Wordweb's Anagram Unscrambler and the answers were right at the top of the list .
To those who think that evangelists are evil, you should go back to root meaning of words before you make judgments. The word 'evangelist' comes from the Greek word 'euaggelistēs' (εὐαγγελιστής) which means 'a bringer of good tidings'. 'Euaggelistēs' comes from 'euaggelizo' which means 'to announce good news'. 'Euaggelizo' comes from two root words 'eus' meaning 'good' and 'aggelos' meaning 'a messenger' or 'to bring tidings' (it is also the word we get our English word 'angel' from).
In other words, a true evangelist is a messenger who brings good news. Therefore, anyone who doesn't bring 'good' news is not a true evangelist, but simply a fake or something else. And it also stands to reason that any person who acts as a messenger bringing you good tidings or good news can be called an evangelist.
We cannot judge a whole profession based on the actions of a few. E.g. just because certain politicians are evil doesn't mean that Abraham Lincoln was evil or even that most politicians have evil motives. All it means is that there are certain people who misuse the title politician and who don't act like the civil servants they were called to be.
Shalom |

| stop crying about the opposites, stop cryign about the instructiuons, and definetly stop crying about the evangelist evil's agents dilema. An evangelist is someone who thinks they are doing god's work, exact opposite of a person who thinks they are doing evil's work.
All in all, I didn't get a single one because it was a full challlenge. Full on both, very fun thank you.
Liked that Bathroom-san comment. XD |
