ANAGRAMS
February 2008
Graham gives us some more "look-a-like" anagrams to torment us.
I hope that you enjoyed last month's anagrams that become very closely related to the original when solved. Here are a few more:
ADOLF HITLER - Hated for ill
ALPHABETICALLY - I play all the ABC
AMERICAN - Main race
BATHING GIRLS - In slight garb
CHOIRMAN - Harmonic
COMBINE HARVESTERS - Betrim corn sheaves
FRENCH REVOLUTION - Violence run forth
MANY A TRUE WORD
SPOKEN IN JEST - Men joke and so win trusty praise
Here are a few you might like to try:
MADAME CURIE
MATERNITY HOSPITAL
OUTSIDE BROADCAST
PATRICK MOORE
REMUNERATION
SAINT GEORGE AND THE DRAGON
SCHOOLMASTER
A TRIP ROUND THE WORLD
Last month's prize winner was our editor, Ray Thompson, with five correct out of eight. Well done in a very difficult competition. Here are the answers:
THE POSTMASTER GENERAL - He's the top letters manager
THE MORSE CODE - Here comes dots
ADVERTISEMENTS - i.e. Tradesmen's TV
BRED AS ACTOR - Broadcaster
CHARITY'S IN IT - Christianity
COMPOUND INTEREST - Sum to do in percent
NO CITY DUST HERE - The countryside
Twelve plus one - Eleven plus two
