Friday Puzzle -- scrambled words
Alex Y
The following thirteen letter sets are the results of taking words, removing two of their letters, and alphabetizing the remaining letters. Your challenge is to find the missing two letters (different for each set) and unscramble them into a word.
E.g., for BJN, add A and O to get banjo.
1) UUV
2) JRRUY
3) NQUU
4) ABCUV
5) RTUZ
6) AAATT
7) FMMOU
NNNOU
9) ALUUU
10) DFJ
11) ABIRW
12) AKQTU
13) BQRUU
At least three of the above have multiple answers.
If those are too easy, try the following two, which have THREE missing letters:
14) GKKLU
15) AIIIINN
Bonus 2 (not really): How can I eight closed parenthesis without creating a smiley, short of turning off smileys altogether? I can preceed it with a slash, and get /8), but I want a character that will suppress the conversion without showing up in the text.
