Brain Teaser

Answers are in the comments. Thanks for playing. :)

Below are five phrases that have been tinkered with. Rearrange the words so that when they are read aloud they will sound very similar to the required phrase. For example "Ducks Sits Hound Fa Mill Ear" = "Does it sound familiar".

crows dose eggs my off pea wind
cab chalk clicks fizz lie lye ox soft
a crowed fall jest lobe Rick oath yell
beef four heap luck Yule
dud rough wharf whorls

Answers tomorrow...maybe...or the next day, but answers will come. Feel free to post your guesses in the comments.

Enjoy

  1. Is it me, or are these out of order too? I mean, "beef four heap luck Yule" could be rearranged to "luck beef four Yule heap" which would be "look before you leap." Are we suposed to unscramble them too?

  3. Two points to Morgan for being the first to get one.

    Minus one point from Morgan for not reading the directions carefully before he started.

    Morgan: 1point

  4. i'm not gonna spell out the final answer, so others can have fun too :)

    cab chalk clicks fizz lie lye ox soft --> lie fizz lye cab ox soft chalk clicks

    crows dose eggs my off pea wind --> my crows off wind dose eggs pea

    a crowed fall jest lobe Rick oath yell -->jest fall oath a yell lobe Rick crowed

  6. Does the last one have anything to do with a dwarf?

  7. Nope, not a dwarf.

    The last is definitely the hardest. When you see it you'll kinda go...ehhh... because it sounds the least like what it's supposed to out of all of them.
