Mad Ade's Minus Letter Anagrams #2
In this teaser the idea is to identify the blanked words. The secret is that each word is an anagram of the previous word, but minus one letter.
For example
The ------- mopped up the spilt ------ and then made sure all the work surfaces were -----.
The answer for the first word would be "cleaner", then remove the "N" and make into "cereal", then remove an "E" to make "clear".
Now try these
The ------ thief used a file to ----- down the hinges of the safe to get to the ----.
The ------ youth was dismayed to find the ----- phone box vandalised when he needed to make a ----.
Mad Ade watched as the liquid ------ as the landlord poured him a pint of the ----- local extra strong ----.
