Question 1 of 10
1. Each answer will consist of two seven letter words that are anagrams of each other. An example of a question and answer is 'More pallid buccaneers', which becomes 'pastier pirates'. Starting letters for each word will be given and no punctuation is required.

Q1 is- 'Keeps parts of the eyes'

Answer: (Two Words ... starting letters - R & R)
Question 2 of 10
2. Which two seven-letter words can solve this puzzle?

'Simmered gull, for example'

Answer: (Two Words ... starting letters- B & S)
Question 3 of 10
3. Seven letter words score a bonus 50 points in Scrabble, so a good knowledge of the more common combinations is important.

Your next challenge- 'Perceive ashes'.

Answer: (Two Words ... starting letters- D & C)
Question 4 of 10
4. Many players memorise lists of 6-letter 'stems', such as SATIRE or RAINED or STRIDE plus an extra letter.

Try- 'Celebrated newspaper heads'

Answer: (Two Words ... starting letters - S & E)
Question 5 of 10
5. Other players use mnemonics such as WATERS- 'lamented by fish'. Each letter of the mnemonic combines with the root word to form a 7-letter word. (wastrel, awarest, etc)

Have a stab at- 'Cold-shoulders areas'.

Answer: (Two Words ... starting letters - I & R)
Question 6 of 10
6. There are over 32,000 seven letter words, and only the world's best would know them all. I do not profess to know them all...

'Suffocate a vacuum flask'.

Answer: (Two Words ... starting letters - S & T)
Question 7 of 10
7. The Q is not regarded as a bonus-friendly letter, but there are over 170 7-letter words starting with that letter! These answers are NOT included in that 170.

Solve, if you can- 'Silliest bank transaction'.

Answer: (Two Words ... starting letters - D & D (and there aren't any Q's!))
Question 8 of 10
8. A bit of a tricky one here.

'Enraged Mills bomb'.

Answer: (Two Words ... starting letters - A & G)
Question 9 of 10
9. You may have noticed that many of the correct answers have contained an 'S'. Most serious Scrabble players consider it to be the second most flexible tile, second only to the blank.

The answer to this puzzle contains an S - 'More delicious emus'.

Answer: (Two Words ... starting letters - T & R)
Question 10 of 10
10. The silliness of the English language is demonstrated by the fact that 'anagram' does NOT have an anagram.

Another testing question- 'A purplish tycoon'.

Answer: (Two Words ... starting letters - M & M)

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Each answer will consist of two seven letter words that are anagrams of each other. An example of a question and answer is 'More pallid buccaneers', which becomes 'pastier pirates'. Starting letters for each word will be given and no punctuation is required. Q1 is- 'Keeps parts of the eyes'

Answer: retains retinas

These letters form one of the nicest Scrabble racks you can get, with eleven different anagrams! Anestri, antsier, nastier, ratines, resiant, retsina, stainer, starnie, stearin are the others that I could have used.
2. Which two seven-letter words can solve this puzzle? 'Simmered gull, for example'

Answer: braised seabird

There are four other anagrams of these letters. They are abiders, bardies, darbies and sidebar.
3. Seven letter words score a bonus 50 points in Scrabble, so a good knowledge of the more common combinations is important. Your next challenge- 'Perceive ashes'.

Answer: discern cinders

'Rescind' is the only other legal combination.
4. Many players memorise lists of 6-letter 'stems', such as SATIRE or RAINED or STRIDE plus an extra letter. Try- 'Celebrated newspaper heads'

Answer: storied editors

Using 'celebrated' as a verb, and not an adjective, would also result in in 'roisted editors'.
5. Other players use mnemonics such as WATERS- 'lamented by fish'. Each letter of the mnemonic combines with the root word to form a 7-letter word. (wastrel, awarest, etc) Have a stab at- 'Cold-shoulders areas'.

Answer: ignores regions

I could have used 'signore' or the obscure 'eringos' (sea-holly plants).
6. There are over 32,000 seven letter words, and only the world's best would know them all. I do not profess to know them all... 'Suffocate a vacuum flask'.

Answer: smother thermos

'Mothers' is the only other one.
7. The Q is not regarded as a bonus-friendly letter, but there are over 170 7-letter words starting with that letter! These answers are NOT included in that 170. Solve, if you can- 'Silliest bank transaction'.

Answer: dopiest deposit

'Topside' and 'posited' are another couple of anagrams.
8. A bit of a tricky one here. 'Enraged Mills bomb'.

Answer: angered grenade

Did you notice that 'enraged' is also an anagram? 'Derange' and 'grandee' also fit.
9. You may have noticed that many of the correct answers have contained an 'S'. Most serious Scrabble players consider it to be the second most flexible tile, second only to the blank. The answer to this puzzle contains an S - 'More delicious emus'.

Answer: tastier ratites

A ratite is any large flightless bird.
10. The silliness of the English language is demonstrated by the fact that 'anagram' does NOT have an anagram. Another testing question- 'A purplish tycoon'.

Answer: magenta magnate

Or even a 'gateman' with a 'nametag'!
