PUZZLE #166
ANAGRAM MAGIC SQUARE 3: SUBTRACTING & SCRAMBLING
The 6-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 five letters long, so remove an extra letter from each 6-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 subtracted letter of each answer, in numerical clue order, will spell out a clue; the FINAL ANSWER is the title hinted at by the clue.

2) In dire need of a nap
3) Renée Zellweger's role in Chicago
