PUZZLE #566
ANAGRAM CHAMBERS 13
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!
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
• [Much too thin] + _ = [Chewy stuff in a Snickers bar other than caramel] + _ = [Regular place for casual meetings]
• [Many of these make up a mustache, maybe] + _ = [Louisiana's version of a county] + _ = [Blimp or zeppelin, say]
• [Bowling alleys] + _ = [_____ & Gretel and the Enchanted Castle (1995 computer game)] + _ = [Let loose the dogs from their restraints]
• [Last name of Beverly from Stephen King's It (or a bog)] + _ = [Sultans' slews of spouses] + _ = [Mr. Peabody's time-traveling partner in some Rocky & Bullwinkle segments]
• [Bee that can’t even sting] + _ = ["Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours)" singer Stevie] + _ = [Topped with a tiara]
• [Scour with a Scotch-Brite pad] + _ = [Speedy solvers of certain toys created by Erno Rubik] + _ = [Practically unknown to almost everybody]
• [Blow one's top, like Mount Etna on a bad day] + _ = [_____ Rico] + _ = [Stance such as a slouch]
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!
