PUZZLE #566: Anagram Chambers 13

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.

PUZZLE #307: Anagram Chambers 8

PUZZLE #307
ANAGRAM CHAMBERS 8

This next puzzle is one that should be familiar to long-time solvers, as I've been making these since the number of puzzles I've made was only in the single digits. However, I think this particular puzzle type has just set the record for the most revisions I've made to it. First, the clues were inside the yellow rectangles, then I moved the clues to their own separate areas and labelled each now-empty chamber (first with numbers, then with lowercase letters), and finally, I've gotten rid of these labels altogether after my test-solver pointed out "why are the chambers labeled a-g if we are going to rearrange them?" So now that the chambers' labels are gone, the directions have been altered to reflect this, so go ahead and read 'em:

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


• ["For _____ About to Rock (We Salute You)" (AC/DC song)] + _ = [Red Monopoly pieces] + _ = [Despises entirely]
• [Light beam used in some welding] + _ = [Birth country of KISS bassist Gene Simmons] + _ = [Makes a comeback after trailing in touchdowns]
• [Dead or _____ (fighting video game series)] + _ = [Practical, as a plan] + _ = [Cockle, clam, or scallop]
• [Jada Pinkett Smith's role in The Matrix Reloaded] + _ = [Plane manufacturer whose 737 MAX model was grounded in 2019] + _ = [Following orders]
• [It can cause the loss of a cur's fur] + _ = [Cypher machine that Alan Turing helped decode] + _ = [Picture in one's mind]
• [Dawson's Creek actress Holmes] + _ = [Quantity of food consumed] + _ = [What rhino horns are made up of]
• [Someone who hasn't quite hit puberty yet] + _ = [Most recent] + _ = [Rawhide genre]

𝗗𝗢𝗨𝗕𝗟𝗘 𝗦𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗡𝗦 𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗛! PUZZLE #185: Anagram Chambers 6

DOUBLE SEVENS MONTH!
PUZZLE #185
ANAGRAM CHAMBERS 6

It's been a while since I had a THEME MONTH, so what better time for another one of those? Since it's the seventh month of the year, all of the FINAL ANSWERS this month will consist of two seven-letter words! Okay, it's a weak theme, I'll admit, and I only came up with it after noticing that I had three to four puzzles in a row planned out that just happened to result in answers of that pattern, as well as the coincidence of July being the seventh month, so why not take advantage of that? Anyway, here's the first puzzle I made for this month before I even knew it was going to be a theme 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. Once you've filled in everything, the light-green squares will spell out something... or they would if the chambers weren't all scrambled up as well!

Once all of the chambers are in the proper order, the light-green squares will spell out the FINAL ANSWER: The name of an actress


a. [With "The", Rush song about maples and oaks arguing] + _ = [Madonna hit with the lyrics "Something's coming over me"] + _ = [Aretha Franklin classic originally performed by Otis Redding]
b. [Eats like a bird] + _ = [In the Bedroom actress Sissy] + _ = [Winners of the first ever Super Bowl]
c. [Speed _____ (60s anime)] + _ = [Last name of Peggy from Captain America: The First Avenger] + _ = [Veranda]
d. [Mother of Perseus] + _ = [The Silver State] + _ = [Game Boy _____ SP (handheld game console)]
e. [Took a snooze] + _ = [Pale color] + _ = [No Man's Sky has 18 quintillion of these celestial bodies]
f. [Wood pattern] + _ = [Being broadcast on TV] + _ = [Abuja's country]
g. [Weary] + _ = [Film cutter] + _ = [Drug banned by the Olympics]

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 get a hint from me in exchange for a "hint star", more details for that are on the sidebar to the right) or send me the answer to last week's puzzle, if you haven't already figured that one out. If you have a printer and want to solve this puzzle on paper, just head below the break for a version you can print out!
