Mad Ade's Minus Letter Anagrams #9
In this teaser the idea is to identify the blanked words. The secret is that each word is an anagram of the previous word, but minus one letter.
For example:
The ------- mopped up the spilt ------ and then made sure all the work surfaces were -----.
The answer for the first word would be "Cleaner", then remove the "N" to make "Cereal", then remove an "E" to make "Clear".
Now try these:
Mad Ade was ------- a book warning of the ------ of standing underneath suspended ----- pianos.
Mrs. Mad Ade ------ Mad Ade, as she ----- he would come and pick her up, but the ---- was ironing when it rang, and he ended up burning his ear.
Mad Ade ended up ------- his wife as he was ------ his shoes as he could not get the ends to -----.
