Are they anagrams of countries?

Yemen
Niger
Laos
Nepal
Peru
China

Very possibly - good shout!

MAIL = MALI

Estimator = EAST TIMOR

Moan Oman

LiftAndCoast · 08/12/2025 17:39

Rain - Iran
Moan - Oman
Rabies - Serbia

Underthinker · 08/12/2025 17:43

So take only the countries that end in a sound like "ier" or "er" or "more" , do something with those and ignore the rest?

MightyFlow · 08/12/2025 17:46

Enemy - Yemen
Reign - Niger
Also - Laos
Plane - Nepal
Pure - Peru
Chain - China
Serial -
Rain - Iran
Hardens -
Mail - Mali
Estimator - East Timor
Lent -
Rabies - Serbia
Moan - Oman

There are 14 words and the answer has 11 letters. I can't think that Lent is an anagram, so perhaps there are 3 that aren't anagrams and that's significant?

FightNight · 08/12/2025 17:50

Serial Israel

FightNight · 08/12/2025 17:50

Really puzzled by lent

user1471538275 · 08/12/2025 17:52

Serial = Israel and that leaves two words that add up to 11 letters

user1471538275 · 08/12/2025 17:52

Maybe hardens and lent join together to make a word?

I think this, as together would be 11 letters ...

keeperofthetrolls · 08/12/2025 17:55

netherlands

LiftAndCoast · 08/12/2025 17:55

lent hardens = Netherlands?

Mokeytree · 08/12/2025 17:55

Netherlands

PatriciaHolm · 08/12/2025 17:56

Netherlands

user1471538275 · 08/12/2025 17:57

Now we've got to wait for @ApocalypseNowt to get back for the next one!

user1471538275 · 08/12/2025 18:15

Just by the way - did anyone get the film poster of the bare knees with the guitar and purple ?fabric in it.

It's the only one I couldn't get and it's bugging me

No.
What is the one with the girls eye? It seems so familiar but couldn't get it. Wasn't sure if it just reminded me of Neverending story or if I did know it.

user1471538275 · 08/12/2025 18:22

moonlight?

Chinatown

Thank you. I definitely didn't know it then.

CapabilityBrownsHaHa · 08/12/2025 20:14

I had to do actual work all afternoon! How rude! Lol Am looking forward to the next installment, though.

@SparklingmoonlightI hope you have caught up now and get why the OP shouted out.

it’s an extreme Christmas challenge that has been here forever and is open to all.

I am NO way near clever enough to sort these but love following.

Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without this. And the fridge chat!

I think my sister in law would be great at these and I should print some for her
