Mad Ade's Minus Letter Anagrams #3
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 ------ batch of pupils worked themselves into a nervous ----- about the surprise ---- on their first day.
In the ------ of the zoo, the newly born ----- was resting next to a fresh ---- of hay.
Unknown to his pupils of the evening class, the ------ was a bit of a secret -----, as well a failed ----.
