Question

Here it goes... my first post! (I hope I did this right.)

1.Delete one letter from the word “carnation” and rearrange the rest, to get an article of clothing.

2.Find the three hidden words in the sentence that, read in order, go together in some way.

“The wine shop laces drinks; however, they are tasty.”

3.Think of a five letter word that can mean “area.” If a single letter can be added to the end of the word to form the name of an Oscar-winning actor, and a different letter can be added to the end of the word to form the name of an Oscar-winning actress, what is the five-letter word?

4.Use the digits 9, 4, and 2 plus standard symbols and operations of arithmetic, to create a mathematical expression that equals the number 25. Can you also make 28?

5.Use the letters CHATTANOOGA to form common uncapitalized five-letter words. How many can you find?

6.What five letter word can be found in the dictionary definitions of all of these words: Wrestle, Work, Figure, and Brainstorm.?

7.What seven-letter word for a type of food contains no letters of the alphabet after G?

8.Delete one letter from the word “legislator” and rearrange the rest, to get a type of health-care professional.

9.Use the digits 7, 7, 6, and 3 plus standard symbols and operations of arithmetic, to create a mathematical expression that equals 109. Can you also make 16? Or can you make 39? Or 10?

10.What six-letter make of an automobile can be substituted for the blank in the phrase “A ____”

to form a palindrome.

11.What four-letter word can be found in the dictionary definitions of all these words: Basketball, Lobster, Limerick, and Nickel.

12.What word, something found in a public library, can be abbreviated by it's first three letters, or its first four letters, or its first five letters, or first six letters?

13.Think of a one word name of a world nation. If you change the first letter, then reverse the order of the letters, you'll get a type of animal. What are the nation and animal?

14.Delete one letter from the word “ungratified” and rearrange the rest, to get another word that means “not happy.”

15.The first six letters of what 11-letter word can be rearranged to spell a European capital?

16.Delete one letter from the word “protruding” and rearrange the rest, to get a two word travel term.

17.Find the three hidden words in the sentence that, read in order, go together in some way.

“Napoleon's tango, oddly, had Elba dancers train different artillerymen.”

18.Think of a common three letter word ending in S. If the third letter is changed to an A, this new word has the same meaning as the first word. If the A is moved from the third position to the first position, this new word has has the same meaning as the first two words. What is the first word?

19.What three word phrase (10 letters in total), commonly seen on restaurant menus, contains three occurrences of the letter U, with exactly one U in each word?

20.There are three common one syllable English nouns whose plurals are formed by changing the letters OO to EE. One is “foot” to “feet.” Find the other two.

Let's see how long it will take to get them all... ;)

Puzzlegirl: Good Job! All correct. (I would put in one of those quote things that shows what you posted but i dont know how.)

Nayana:

You can combine the digits used in the math problem. so if you can use an 8, 2, 5, 3 to make 13 it could be 38-25=13.
