Brain Teasers
Analogy Anagrams
Language
Language brain teasers are those that involve the English language. You need to think about and manipulate words and letters.Language
Some anagrams are almost too good to be true. The letters in the capitalised words or phrases can be rearranged in delightful ways to fill the gaps!
e.g. Is my lovely _____ really a WOMAN HITLER?
Answer: mother-in-law
1. The _____ Church can be BEST IN PRAYER.
2. The school bully gave his victim NINE THUMPS as a _____.
3. Someone with BAD CREDIT can still manage to pay with a _____.
4. If you missed it last time, keep waiting, for _____ SHALL YET COME!
5. Perhaps because _____ could be a NICE SILKY WOMAN, a president fell for her!
Warning! The hint will give you the starting letters of all words. It will make the teaser quite easy, so only check if really necessary!

Fun! I couldn't get Halley's Comet though.
This was a fun teaser. Thanks for posting.
Brilliant - loved it.
Excellent! Probably the best teaser I've seen here in the past couple years. Your sentences provided great clues. Also, the warning before the hint was true and much appreciated!
I guess my brain was asleep because I had a very hard time with this one. A couple were quite easy, but some were killers.
That ws a fun one!! thanks!

Excellent teaser - hope you make another one.
Thanks everyone - it's always encouraging to get some positive feedback. As you'll probably be aware, the anagrams themselves are not original, in the sense that I didn't invent them, but I've tried to make fun sentence clues. Brain + Laugh is a good recipe for a Monday TOTD!
Oh, and i have a lovely mother-in-law!

Great teaser. I love appropriate anagrams - hence the 3 teasers I submitted. I look forward to seeing more of your teasers.
First one to respond in 2013! I love anagrams, but only got 2 on this quiz. Happy March, and have a wonderful weekend!
Fun one.
Missed #4 Nice teaser.
Missed #4 Nice teaser.
Missed the last two, even after the hint. Think if I had spent more time I would have come up with Monica Lewinsky, but not sure I'd have ever got Halley's Comet though.
EXCELLENT and easy!
Good teaser. I got them all fairly easily, except for #4. I got with the hint.
Not to get picky, though, but in #4 there should NOT be a comma after "waiting". It may not seem like a big thing, but comma changes the entire structure of the sentence.
"Keep waiting for Halley's Comet" makes sense, while "Keep waiting, for Halley's Comet" makes absolutely no sense.

Wolf pack, the comma is correct because the rest of the sentence reads: for Halley's Comet shall come yet. But I admire a good grammarian.
Fun quiz. I got all but one Thanks for posting

correction: the rest of the sentence reads: For Halley's Comet shall yet come.
Hi gaylewolf - it's nice to meet another "wolf". lol. You are absolutely correct. For some reason, I had disregarded the last part of the sentence because I was using those letters to fill in the blank.
I appreciate the grammatical discussion, wolves! Thanks for the 'defence', Gaylewolf! I do like correct grammar, too. Good to see Braingle still thriving here.
Fun and entertaining teaser; I got them all fairly quickly. I got #1 and #3 right away and the rest with the hint. I always enjoy anagram puzzles.
impressive!
a fun teaser
Nice work, it was a fun teaser, thanks!
