THREE-PART ANAGRAMS

Certain words can be disguised by mixing up all their letters but one, to form two new words. These two words plus the missing letter will be an anagram of the original word. For example, EXPERIMENT can be expressed as TEEN + P + MIXER. Can you break up the following words into two new words plus a missing letter - in the form of WORD + LETTER + WORD?

1. EXPERIMENT - two more ways 

2. VULNERABLE - three ways

3. BROWNSTONE- four ways (One is hyphenated.)

4. TRIUMPHANT - four ways

 

Answers:

 

1. MEET + X + RIPEN = EXPERIMENT

    NEXT + E +  PRIME = EXPERIMENT

   

2. BALL + U + NEVER = VULNERABLE

    BLUE + L + RAVEN = VULNERABLE

    BURN + L + LEAVE = VULNERABLE  

 

3. BONE + T + SWORN = BROWNSTONE

    T-BONE + S + WORN = BROWNSTONE

    BONNET + S + ROW = BROWNSTONE

    BONNET + R + SOW  = BROWNSTONE

 

4. HUNT + I + TRAMP = TRIUMPHANT

    AUNT + P + MIRTH = TRIUMPHANT

    ANTI + H = TRUMP = TRIUMPHANT

    HARM + T + INPUT = TRIUMPHANT
