Words' Worth
Ok, people, I have always had a fancy for Word Games. We used to fiddle with anagrams during free time in high school and my sister and I did the Anagrams section of Indian Express every Sunday. So here are a few puzzlers (don't google them!), some I thought of, some I remembered from competitions in school:
1. Name the country that has all the vowels in its name.
2. A word(s) that has all vowels, occuring in the right order
3. What's special about this group of words?: facade, cab, bead, deaf, ace
4. RHYME TIME
- Use the clues to find the two words that rhyme.
Eg. Path Frog: ROAD TOAD
Comfortable insect: ---- ---
Wet tents: ---- ----
Wonderful film: ------ -----
5. Kangaroo words:
Easy ones. Find smaller words(in the order they occur) within these words that mean the same as the bigger word.
Eg. Observe: See
Precipitation
Facade
Appropriate
Salvage
Indolent
6. Let's finish with some of my own anagrams (each is a single word):
MORSE HEAP
LACE BED
Lunch time's over, answers later!
