Dr T Posted October 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 For you word starts: Drop a letter from the first word and anagram it to answer the second word. Drop a letter from that and anagram it to get the third word, and so on. It may help to solve other clues if you get stuck on one. Ready? 1. First word of 6 letters: Any conflict or struggle. 2. Second word of 5 letters: A piece of furniture. 3. Third word of 4 letters: To strike violently or forcefully and repeatedly. 4. Fourth word of 3 letters: A small projection from a card, paper, or folder, used as an aid in filing. 5. Fifth word of 2 letters: Antibody (abbreviation). 6. NEW WORD First word of 6 letters: A short piece of wire bent so as to bind together papers. 7. Second word of 5 letters: A shallow, usually circular dish. 8. Third word of 4 letters: A strip of cloth, paper or plastic with an adhesive surface. 9. Fourth word of 3 letters: A domestic animal. 10. Fifth word of 2 letters: Point (abbreviation). (I think this one might be too easy for you all) Dr. T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr T Posted October 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 This one is hard (at first) and no one else has given a reply so a small hint is in order. These letters are the first letter of a word. The words go in this sequential order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
