PUZZLE #160
ANAGRAM CHAMBERS 5
For this puzzle, there are several dark-green "chambers" with yellow rectangles and light-green squares in them. For each chamber, you take a word in the first yellow rectangle as hinted at by the clue, add a letter from the light-green square, and scramble them to get a word in the second yellow rectangle, then you repeat the process to get the word in the third yellow rectangle. Once you've filled in everything, the light-green squares will spell out something... or they would if the chambers weren't all scrambled up as well!
Once all of the chambers are in the proper order, the light-green squares will spell out the FINAL ANSWER: The name of a newspaper
a. [Romanian circle dance] + _ = [Hard-to-kill insect] + _ = [Late Law & Order actor Jerry]
b. [Adjusted a guitar's strings] + _ = [Tracked down deer to shoot at] + _ = [Oklahoma City basketball team]
c. [For fear that] + _ = [Inventor Nikola] + _ = [_____ Your Shorts ('90s Nickelodeon show)]
d. [Pours precipitation] + _ = [Hello Kitty company] + _ = [Former talk show host Hall]
e. [Anna's sister in Frozen] + _ = [Weighing device] + _ = [Queen's residence]
f. [Goes through text] + _ = [Reared, like children] + _ = [The Princess _____ (Anne Hathaway film)]
g. [Give the pink slip] + _ = ["Good _____!" (Charlie Brown catchphrase)] + _ = [Index, middle, or ring]
Once you believe you've figured out the FINAL ANSWER, send it to either redhead64@chartermi.net or itsredhead64@gmail.com (though I'm more likely to check the second one) and I'll put your name on a solvers list once I post the answers in about two weeks. You can also use those email addresses to give me some comments and feedback (or get a hint from me in exchange for a "hint star", more details for that are on the sidebar to the right) or send me the answer to last week's puzzle, if you haven't already figured it out. If you have a printer and want to solve this puzzle on paper, just head below the break for a version you can print out!
