Word Sorcery

For August 13,2015
One time, our teacher in Creative Writing introduced this game called Word Sorcery. It's a pretty simple game but you need to analyze a bit because the words are really tricky. Wanna try?

Instructions: Unscramble the letters of the word to form a new word. You can't add or delete a letter from the original word.

Example: rule = tempt
* The new word must be synonymous with the word 'tempt'. What could the new word be? Let's find out.

The answer is...
               * lure
From the word 'rule' we unscrambled the letters and formed the new word 'lure' which means 'to tempt'.

You got it right!
Now, try these.

1. list = deposit of sand and dirt
2. open = often a laborer
3. seam = a high table land
4. beat = help
5. oils = cylindrical tower for storage
6. time = small amount
7. atom = a ditch
8. rave = declare
9. sure = trick
10. coin = religious image
11. fire = widespread
12. evil = disgusting
13. wary = twisted
14. large = kingly
15. poses = squad of men
16. broth = beat
17. baser = cavalry sword
18. brace = sour
19. throw = angry
20. use = appeal formally to a person for something


Try to check if your answers are correct.

1. list = deposit of sand and dirt = silt
2. open = often a laborer = peon
3. seam = a high table land = mesa
4. beat = help = abet
5. oils = cylindrical tower for storage = silo
6. time = small amount = mite
7. atom = a ditch = moat
8. rave = declare = aver
9. sure = trick = ruse
10. coin = religious image = icon
11. fire = widespread = rife
12. evil = disgusting = vile
13. wary = twisted = awry
14. large = kingly = regal
15. poses = squad of men = posse
16. broth = beat = throb
17. baser = cavalry sword = saber
18. brace = sour = acerb
19. throw = angry = wroth
20. use = appeal formally to a person for something = sue

Hope you enjoyed the game. ^.^ Keep posted for other exciting games.
