Anagram words

Below are six clues to six words. When arranged in the correct order, each word is an anagram of the previous word with a letter removed.
Capital of France snake headache tablet single article twisted ankle coarse file equally.

It may be hard for some but try your best people.

OK so I just feel plain ole stupid on this one

Ok much thinking to do!!!!!!!! I will try not to hurt myself!

Capital of France, snake, headache tablet, single article, twisted ankle, coarse file equally.

Paris, asp, aspirin, A, sprain,

Headache tablet, twisted ankle, Capital of France, coarse file equally , single article.

So; Aspirin, spain, paris, ? , asp, A

This is as far as I got.

I am not quite sure I have divided the words correctly to begin with...

Oh dear...

EnigmaNZ · 11-27-2009, 02:28 PM

Well done kitten. I couldn't think of a snake at all. We don't have snakes in NZ so no reason to be familiar with them. 'A' doesn't fit the criteria though as according to the rule it should drop 1 letter only so should be 2 letters.

Aspirin, sprain, Paris, rasp, asp, ?

A rasp is a coarse steel file used to file metal by say, a panelbeater.

Single article, bugger, as, ap, pa, ps, sp, sa ?? sa maybe?

Aspirin, sprain, Paris, rasp, asp, s.a.

Hold on, coarse file equally is wrong. It is coarse file, equally, single article.

Aspirin, sprain, Paris, rasp, asp, ?, A

but that is 7 words, or 6 words and a letter, ah, it doesn't say it has to be 6 enteries, just that it has to be 6 words, 'a' isn't a word.

So equally = as, ap, pa, ps, sp, sa. Haven't a clue. 'as' is the only recognised word from that field, so to take a leap of faith... ah, could be equally = 'as' as in 'same as..'

Aspirin, sprain, Paris, rasp, asp, as, A

Lolita Kitten · 11-27-2009, 02:46 PM

-frowns-
Oh darn.

Hrm.

Single article..

-thoughtful-

This is going to be on my mind all day...

EnigmaNZ · 11-27-2009, 03:42 PM

Sorry kitten, I think I have it (fingers crossed nervously lol)

EnigmaNZ · 11-28-2009, 05:44 AM

Heres a logic one.

Mom, Dad, and 2 kids have come to a river, and they find a boat. It is small and can only carry one adult or 2 kids at a time. Both kids are good rowers, but how can the whole family reach the other side of the river?

the_joy_of_pain · 11-30-2009, 12:13 PM

2 kids go to the other side;
1 kid goes back;
mother goes to other side;
2nd kid goes back;
2 kids go to the other side;
1 kid goes back;
father goes to the other side;
1 kid goes back;
2 kids go to the other side;

all on the other side.

EnigmaNZ · 11-30-2009, 02:49 PM

Yep, thats it JoP.

I wonder how many think it though and how many turn to google.

the_joy_of_pain · 11-30-2009, 03:13 PM

no google. I knew a variant of this riddle, so it was easily solved.

stelth · 11-30-2009, 08:21 PM

While I don't wish to take thunder away from raz since this was his thread, I do have a good one:

With pointed fangs I sit in wait,
With piercing force I dole out fate,
Forcefuly binding with a single bite,
Over lifeless victums I proclaim my might.
What am I?

the_joy_of_pain · 12-01-2009, 09:06 AM

Good one, I guessed snake, death or a spider; but that's all to obvious. I guess Google can find me an answer, but I'll wait and see what the others come up with.

raz212 · 12-01-2009, 10:29 AM

I sorry i havent posted in a while people my computer is not working right now, and i cant get it fixed until saterday so i might not be online again so sorry people.

stelth · 12-01-2009, 10:35 AM

haha no problem. ive got tons of them, just wasnt sure if youd want me posting them when this was your thread.

oh and joy of pain, not even close. this is one of those riddles that make you want to smack yourself in the head cause its so obvious

EnigmaNZ · 12-01-2009, 12:27 PM

A cat of some sort, tiger, leopard, lion, cheetah. Hmm which one goes for the neck of its prey. But I will think some more as it seems it could be a deeper riddle.

With pointed fangs I sit in wait,

Oh, it sits in wait, it doesn't run down its prey. Hmmm.

With piercing force I dole out fate,

I prosume it bites its victim with those fangs. Fate as in life and death prosumably...

Forcefuly binding with a single bite

Forcefully binding... thats got me, binding, linking together?? So it hangs onto its victim for a long time, weird.

Over lifeless victums I proclaim my might.

Lifeless as in dead??? were they ever alive???

I keep thinking vampires, but it doesn't fit the criteria. Perhaps its your avatar lol.

Hold on, is this even refering to living organisms. Just had a thought. Some mechanical device that clamps onto its work. A vice sits there, but its teeth are blunt, hmm.

With pointed fangs I sit in wait,

It has points that are forced into its work. It joins them together after one application. Lifeless, not dead but ahh paper. What about a stapler. Hmm, fits line 1 and 2 and 3, suppose it could fit 4 as well.

Ok a stapler
