PUZZLE #364: Anagram Chambers 9

PUZZLE #364
ANAGRAM CHAMBERS 9

This puzzle contains a word suggested by Patron M. Sean Molley. Support me on Patreon at $15 or more per month to suggest one word or phrase for me to put into a puzzle every month!

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. Unfortunately, none of the chambers are labeled, and all seven sets of clues are in no particular order, so you have to figure out which set of answers go to which proper chamber so the columns of light green squares will both spell out words reading vertically.

Once all of the chambers are in the correct order, the light green squares will spell out the FINAL ANSWER: a two-word phrase


• [Small stream] + _ = [Double-_____ hamburger] + _ = [Country bumpkin in many Jeff Foxworthy jokes]
• [Title for Dracula or Duckula] + _ = [Sam of Froot Loops fame, for one] + _ = [Sotheby's event]
• [Artificial sweetener or a math symbol] + _ = [Fantastic Voyage star Welch] + _ = [Argument]
• [Vertebral column] + _ = [Equines such as Pinkie Pie] + _ = ["Rats with wings", according to New Yorkers]
• [All in the Family spinoff starring Bea Arthur] + _ = [Like a messy bed] + _ = [So commonplace as to be unnoteworthy]
• [Step in a flight] + _ = [Stats expressed with colons] + _ = [Waldorf _____ New York (luxury hotel)]
• [Takes a stab at] + _ = [Classic puzzle video game with the tagline "From Russia with Fun!"] + _ = [Party game involving a mat with colored spots]

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 even ask for a hint, though you'll be marked as having used one if you do so) 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 link to a .PDF version which you can print out!
