This week we have multiple challenges.
Take the phrase
Native Beagle Cheered
First challenge - how many four letter animal names can you come up with? I came up with fourteen singular animal names, six of which have a homophone.
Second challenge - take one of the more common animals and add a consonant. The five letters can now be rearranged twice to make a pair of homophones. What are they?
Third challenge - using the letters of Native Beagle Cheered only once, complete four common phrases that each begin with one of the above five letter homophones.
Good luck!!
A:
Common animals - bear, crab, hare, deer, bird, gnat
Crossword animals - erne, tern, rhea
Crazy animals - hart, hind, ling, teal, rail
Add a "K" to bear to get "brake" and "break".
Using the letters in "Native Beagle Cheered" gives you four phrases beginning with "break".
The title hints at - break the ice.
Good luck hints at - break a leg.
The other two are - break bread and break even.
I got nowhere with the phrases, but I did find 3 animals -- all of them fish -- that aren't listed above: char, dace, and tang. Plus a couple of near misses: lice, veal.
ReplyDeleteI was concerned that part two was too time consuming and should have been watered down.
ReplyDeleteNice job on the fish!
