My mind got quirky on me and while I wasn't paying attention turned the word "sun" into "son", so that instead of combining "sun" and "hip" to get "punish", I combined "son" and "hip" to get "siphon". Oh well.
I did not understand what we were supposed to do, so I had to peek at the first one to complete the rest Not my favorite to do. Sorry, but thanks for posting!
I did understand the rules, but I'm not good enough at anagrams to do it.
So very random, did not like the concept.
Great teaser! Very enjoyable and comfortably challenging. Loved it.
Glad to see a new teaser of the day! I enjoyed this, even though I didn't get the answer right. I got beware, poetry, sounds, and murder. That left me with hip and met which I could not make into a word. After spending quite awhile on this I didn't have the patience to start over and find out where I messed up. More challenging than I thought it would be.
I fell for the same trap as Coolnana, it was gr8 fun though, thanks!
I don't really like that there wasn't a space to play with the words .. not that great at doing it in my head only so idk
Got same answers as Mark got caught up on met and hip. Great teaser though. Love . anagrams.
