I like these but I get confused when I read the instructions, thinking the anagrams should have a relationship like, "knife-fork". The hint helps, but could be clearer.
Just for my fyi, how could I have made the hint clearer?
"The relationship that the words have is that they rhyme." Something like that.

Huh? How can the hint be any clearer, unless the solution was spelled out and stapled to your forehead? Knife-fork? These words are not anagrams of each other.
Okay, now you have me confused. My hint says that, once rearranged, they rhyme. Am I missing something here?
Yeah, I know knife/fork are not anagrams! Maybe it's my mental block, but when the puzzle states the words share something in common, I want them to have a relationship...beyond rhyming. If the answer was stapled to my forehead, I wouldn't be able to read it anyway, but you could Anonymous.

You want them to have a relationship beyond rhyming?! I might report an innapropriate comment. Joking aside, what are you on about samm? Is it that spoon looks like snoop which relates to knife and fork?
Well I saw the relationship as soon as I had de-anagrammed the first pair. This helped me to get the others which were a bit tougher. All round a fun enjoyable puzzle.
Glad you liked it.
Glad you liked it.
i think it was good, i agree, with samm i think or whatever, but i thought at first they would have something in common, but then i read the hint and it was pretty clear, but like samm said, could have been a little clearer. i liked it though.
Hate to blow your bubbles but, i honestly think the hint said more than enough. I really don't see how it could be any more clear, considering the instructions. Good one, i doubt anyone can say otherwise.
