Brain Teasers
Words With One Letter Changed #2
Language
Language brain teasers are those that involve the English language. You need to think about and manipulate words and letters.Language
In this teaser you have been given two definitions. Each pair of definitions is for two unrelated words. Your task is to discover what these two words are. In the answer to the second word, I took the first word, but changed one of its letters to make a completely different word. (i.e. table - fable)
1. An instrument used to measure time - an outer garment.
2. An instrument used in woodworking for smoothing wood - a shallow dish used for eating food.
3. A deep basin used to hold liquids or food - to utter a loud prolonged cry.
4. A position of authority - a group of singers.

nice one jazz
Thanks harry
Awesome teaser.
Chair and choir were the only ones I couldn't get. I got the others in seconds, but the last one stumped me. Good teaser, I enjoyed it.
I got boss and bass for the last one. It works, too, doesn't it?
Good teaser, Jazz. I actually got most of them right. Had the same problem Auntiesis did. Thanks for posting.
thought bowl -> bawl for third one...
Nice one! For #2, I was thinking sander and saucer, til I realized there was a 2 letter difference.
Wow, this one was pretty easy for being Jazz's...but still fun!
Yeah, I thought of pail and wail, as well. Good teaser. Fun one.
I, too, thought "Pail/Wail".
I got most of them, some I got different answers. Thanks!
I only got two. It was not a favorite of mine and there has been quite o few of thee lately. Also you can get more than one answer out of them. Sorry, I am not trying to be rude, it is just not my thing.
nice one..pail, wail for me also
I like this type of puzzle. Thanks for a good one, Jazz!
Does any one know how to get points this is my first time on here I don't know its make me confused
Nice n easy, thanks Jazz!
Not a huge fan of "chair" being the person of authority, but otherwise, great teaser. I even figured out "choir", but didn't think chair fit.
thought bowl -> bawl for third one...
Fun and entertaining teaser. I got three out of four. Had "Pail and Wail" instead of "Bowl and Howl".
