PUZZLE #414
ANAGRAM CHAMBERS 10
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
• [They make up molecules] + _ = [Blue tank engine from a long-running children's show] + _ = [Organ attached to the esophagus]
• [Mobster John nicknamed "The Teflon Don"] + _ = [Hauling around, as a shopping bag] + _ = ["Heartache _____" (Eagles song)]
• [Royal domain] + _ = [Duchamp who painted Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2] + _ = [Werther's Original product]
• [Be an unsportsmanlike winner] + _ = [Italy's version of ice cream] + _ = [America's best-selling toothpaste brand]
• [Verses collected in Shel Silverstein's A Light in the Attic] + _ = [Ask too much of] + _ = [Pinky swear, for one]
• [Cloaks on the backs of many superheroes] + _ = [Carrie actress Sissy] + _ = [Tiny containers of Sweet'n Low]
• [Vice _____ (the other way around)] + _ = [Strongly wants, like food] + _ = [Neckwear for snowmen]
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!
