Question
bonanova
Consonants rule when words or phrases become equal if vowels "aeiouy" are ignored.
Thus consonants rule "BrainDen," "Brandon," "I brand one" and "Aye! A bra on Don!"
[We don't talk about Don much.]
Making it more fun, or challenging, we make a list of words or phrases that have
corresponding words or phrases that are related to each other.
Here's an easy starter set. No need to post spoilers for these.
Yay! A ride.....RD......___
I renege........RNG.....______
You all weep....YLLW....______
Gooey rain......GRN....._____
A coy one.......CN......____
And ... go!.....NDG.....______
I value it......VLT.....______
Now that you have the hang of it, we offer more of a challenge.
Often when one word is solved it gives a clue to the others.
So this set is broken up into shorter pieces.
Pick one set and try to solve it, and if they elude you, use a second set as a clue.
And so on.
For fun, post a spoiler just for the last set that you looked at to get the solution.
In other words, leave the ones you didn't get, unsolved, for others to get.
Enjoy!
[spoiler=OK. Here are the rest ...
A wee stove reign
A wise canoe, soon
A woe; a man. Go!
Ace! Annoy cutie cat
Aim sassy as a poppie.
All a yon set
Atone any souse?
I ace loafer yon
I colored you
I floured you.
I raize you? No.
I'd lower you.
I'm a coho again
In awe, joy rose.
In woe, you max ace.
Lob me.
Me annoy you? I sit!
Nary the cry line
Oh, woe you.
Yoga? I'm you.
Yon war OK.
You amuse saucy hay stats
You no done
You wish a young tune.
You! invade!
You're heady. So you leaned
You've a remain, too?
