PUZZLE #467: Anagram Magic Square 8

PUZZLE #467
ANAGRAM MAGIC SQUARE 8

One of the clues in this puzzle contains a word or phrase 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!

The 5-letter word in each box is an anagram to the answer to each of the clues below.... almost. You see, in this puzzle, all of the answers are six letters long, so add an extra letter to each 5-letter word to get each answer. Put the number of each corresponding clue into the small box below the initial word and write down the anagram on the dash directly below that. The numbers in each row and column will add up to 65.

Once you're done with the puzzle, the added letter of each answer, in numerical clue order, will spell out a clue; the FINAL ANSWER is the answer to that clue.


1) Muppet who often greets viewers with a hearty "Hi-ho!"
2) _____ 5 ("Wake Up Call" band)
3) Completely lacking (of)
4) Acquire
5) French soup sometimes made from lobster
6) Creepy-_____
7) Rodent that Bill Murray's character in Caddyshack tries to get rid of
8) Tall castle parts
9) Oscar from Sesame Street, for one
10) BBC detective series starring Idris Elba (or Martin with his 95 Theses)
11) Melting metal together
12) Prosper or flourish

14) Australian airline nicknamed "The Flying Kangaroo"
15) Force someone to do something

21) Dove's urban relative
22) Fume with fury
23) Capital of Austria
24) A group of these horned mammals is called a "crash"
25) Metamorphic rock that sounds pleasant?

Once you think you know what the FINAL ANSWER is, 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!
