Brain Teasers
Operation: Vegetable-Ectomy
Six words have had their vegetables removed. The vegetables have been placed into Group A. The remaining letters of each word have been placed into Group B. Your task is to reconstitute the words by merging each vegetable with the proper set of letters. Other than merging the two groups together, there is no rearranging of the letters. Example: sand + pne = spanned (SpANneD).
Group A: bean, beet, corn, kale, pea, radish
Group B: acdio, bning, lieb, nfi, rthig, scagot
Group A: bean, beet, corn, kale, pea, radish
Group B: acdio, bning, lieb, nfi, rthig, scagot
Answer
bean + rthig = breathing (BrEAthiNg)beet + nfi = benefit (BEnEfiT)
corn + acdio = accordion (aCcORdioN)
kale + lieb = likeable (liKeAbLE)
pea + scagot = scapegoat (scaPEgoAt)
radish + bning = brandishing (bRAnDISHing)

Also got all but "breathing." Good exercise. Thanks
This took me more time than I'd like to admit, but I had fun trying. I got about half of them.
Great teaser! Took me a bit to get them all, but I did - though I had to look up likeable, as I'm used to spelling it likable (it appears both spellings are correct).
more time consuming than hard. Fun!
Very, very well done! I don't like veggies, but this I liked! It was such an original teaser. I got them all, though it took me a while!
Time consuming but not too hard.
This is one of the cleverest teasers I have done in a while. Very well done, hard but not impossible. I enjoyed this teaser to the max.
Awesome teaser! I got them all after some time and patience. I thank you for making me think. Keep them coming!
Maybe I'm just accustomed to these -Ectomy puzzles by now, but I solved this one fairly quickly. Still fun, as usual.
