0 Guest Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Oh snap! My head hurts... Over... The synonyms I can come up with might be 'dead,' as in something has come to an end, and 'alive,' as in having gotten over a disease or something.I know that isn't very good, but I'll keep thinking!

0 Guest Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Fire. The two synonyms would be 'start,' as in to start a car or something (fire it up!) and 'end,' like getting fired from a job. I'll keep trying for more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two synonyms would be 'start,' as in to start a car or something (fire it up!) and 'end,' like getting fired from a job. I'll keep trying for more! Terminate might be better for the synonym of fire. Start might be considered a synonym for "fire-up" though. Either way, good find. Mine is Overlook. Overlook = to watch or oversee. Overlook = to miss in observation. Just not 4 letters. Edited May 26, 2011 by Molly Mae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
