Question
Guest
And now for something completely different.
Inspired by hugemonkey's I've created five words or word phrases (indicated in parentheses).
Each list of puzzle words should be put together to make the answer word/word phrase.
Each of the answers represents a danger to our current world and society. (Of course, there are many dangers in the world, I just chose a few.)
Here is an example of how the puzzle works:
Example Puzzle.. = ......Translation
writing fluid ......... = ......... ink
signal ................ = ......... cue
cove .................. = ......... bay
eschew ................ = ......... shun
ink + cue + bay + shun = incubation
Let me know what you think of these... and good luck!
Puzzle 1 (1 word)
subterranean mammal
radio
Puzzle 2 (2 words)
unused
see-through
upright position
Puzzle 3 (2 words)
seed extract
medicine
Puzzle 4 (1 word)
Japanese sash
metropolis
Puzzle 5 (1 word)
