EM Cryptic Clues Anagram Challenge.

deletedalmost 7 years

Hello guys, my name is DatGuiser. I am making a forum page for continuing on an idea that KinkajusRevenge had about a Cryptic Clues Challenge. So I decided to make my own.

So the challenge is... I list a whole bunch of random words with hints, and a few of those words form an anagram for a name of a user.

For example:

Star, Drift, Rise, Brain, Mast, Claim, An, Guide, Leave, Dust (2, 8-9)

this means that it is made from two of the above words, and it the name is 8 or 9 letters.

Answer: STAR + GUIDE = DATGUISER

For the record, not all of these people are well known, but there are no names with numbers, so that gives way more options. The way to send the answers is by Personal Message to DatGuiser.

Number four has 1899 possible combinations of words that equal the correct number of letters.


How many combos for number 25?


Suprisingly 25 is easier than some of the others, with only 459 word combinations.

oh yeah, there is actually one person on the highest points leaderboard sorry.
deletedalmost 7 years
since (x,y) x meaning number of words and y meaning the number of letters, you have to find x words that form an anagram of a username.

For example:

Camel, Onyx, Guide, Fashion, Cup, Star, Goat, Craft. (2,9)

2 words that make a total of 9 letters

Star + Guide = DatGuiser bc it has same letters.

only one answer per question

By the way, here are a few more hints: There is at least one person from 4 of the top 5 ruling families in EpicMafia. Only 4 of the answers start with a vowel, and none of the answers are currently on the highest points leaderboard, but some of the answers (that I know of) has ever been on the highest points leaderboard.
