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!
