PUZZLE #464: Anagram Chambers 11

PUZZLE #464
ANAGRAM CHAMBERS 11

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


• [Got a five-finger discount, so to speak] + _ = [Red Monopoly pieces] + _ = [Small country completely surrounded by South Africa]
• [Feature on a Ruffles potato chip] + _ = [Mr. Howe, also known as "Mr. Hockey"] + _ = [Paid no attention to]
• ["_____ U Been Gone" (Kelly Clarkson hit)] + _ = [Cricket or cockroach, e.g.] + _ = [Guide for tracing letters]
• [What the matching ends of magnets do] + _ = [Assistant] + _ = [Parks and Recreation star Amy]
• [Rotating item in geography class] + _ = [Word-searching game with lettered dice] + _ = [Online journal-hosting site owned by Google since 2003]
• [Planet that's listed first alphabetically] + _ = [Message from a blackmailer, basically] + _ = [_____ & Clank: Rift Apart (PlayStation 5 game)]
• [David who voiced Kuzco in The Emperor's New Groove] + _ = [Temporarily stopped a YouTube video] + _ = [Revises with new info]

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!
