A Swaffergy is a word that can be broken up into two parts: a different word and a letter of the English Alphabet.
The word "defense" is a common Swaffergy. It can be broken up into the letter "D", and the word "Fence". As a Swaffergy, it would be written like this:
D + A structure serving as an enclosure, a barrier, or a boundary, usually made of posts or stakes joined together by boards, wire, or rails.
Which will give you "D-Fence", or "defense".
Can you find the answers to the following Swaffergies?
1. B + To go out of or away from

3. B + Used by a golfer to warn those ahead that a ball is headed in their direction
4. B + Slang for "cousin"
5. B + Autumn
