Anagrams

Post by testitemqlstudop »

Rules:

- no more than 5 people's puzzles a a time
- puzzles are at most 20 anagrams

here's the last one from that thread

Code: Select all

YOVEN URGE LOSH                    (hint: long Moosey)
THUGGEE RIFI                       (hint: natural) - SOLVED
REDTAIL GRIN                       (hint: block + (in the name) puffer)
FORMULAE                           (should be very easy) - SOLVED
WITCHING TALL ALOW                 (hint: hisssssssss) - SOLVED
GONDOLA DICK                       (hint: oscillator)

EDIT:
