Re: Friday puzzle -- Some Anagrams
Eyes- They See
Re: I can start
Gary- How do you get the anagram you listed for George Bush? Is it a political comment? If so maybe you need to look in the mirror. This is not a politicaal forum.
Interesting
the one I have for astronomer is not included in your list.
Re: I can start
Good solutions on the first three.
:-)
Twelve Plus One
Yes! (That's my favorite one)
That Queer Shake
Woman I Loathe (extra letter)
:-)
More tha one extra letter
Extra A and O, and missing the R (I say with less than full confidence, since I didn't write them both down and draw lines between the letters.)
A tidy room
Re: A tidy room
Dirty Room
a dot in place
:-) You're on a roll!
:-)
:-( A tidy room -- Not enough R's
Re: :-( A tidy room -- Not enough R's
There are two "R's" in doRmitoRy
