In this game, I will give a clue for two words. The two words will be anagrams of each other. Example: If I gave the hint 'almighty canine', the answer would be DOG GOD.

Dog is an anagrame of god.

Whoever gets it right first gets a mod point and has the option of hosting their own.


My first clue is:

A writing aids' family member

Hater/earth?
It's a bit feeble but it's all I can think of.

Sounds feasible. But who calls an enemy a "hater" these days?

(Oh, wait... 'piano player hater'... )

The closest I can come is viral rival.
Well, it's a stretch, but you don't think of viruses as clean, do you?

You know, I'm bound to think it's "earth hater", like krammer said...

np: Triosk - Moment Returns (The Headlight Serenade)

Oh, me too. Or rather, it's a much better guess than mine. (Mine wasn't a serious guess). It actually makes sense, for starters. But it doesn't make me think "oh, of course, that must be it" like "bedroom boredom" did. (Where, btw, are those age tags now? We don't want to seriously confuse the younger members..)

Heh, sorry about that. Believe it or not, I didn't even realise that when coming up with the clue.. I was too excited by the fact I had found two very common longish words that were anagrams and fitted together

I quickly thought of 'bored' for the last one, but then the only thing I could think of was "bored 'drobe". But people don't shorten wardrobe that way.

There's maybe a hint there.

Anagrams are not my strong point, but a long pair I discovered some years back:

Bingo. (And now I'm out of rank points.) If anyone's curious, they can see the original puzzle I wrote on this at http://www.mit.edu/~tahnan/puzzles/train.html , which includes a handy plug for the National Puzzlers' League (plug plug).
