PUZOL ME TIHS

By Teh Puzzlar (Wed Mar 22, 2006 at 10:39:29 AM EST) (all tags)

Each of the four words below is scrambled and missing a letter. The missing letter is the same in all cases. Discover the letter and unscramble the words.

ANPDE
ECSSE
ERTA
AIS

Totally rewritten from the Mensa calendar statement, which is hell of confusing.

No, that's not what they have (or what I got¹) but yes, that's a valid answer. ObMensaRules.

¹I started by seeing what words AIS could make, since that's the fewest combinations. I came up with D, X and P being candidates, assuming that APIS is a word (means BEE in Latin?). Didn't even notice R.

: that letter by ucblockhead (4.00 / 3) #6 Wed Mar 22, 2006 at 11:03:14 AM EST

APIS is very obviously a word as in both the Win32 and Gtk+ APIS suck donkey dick.

There already is a 'your guess' in the third scrambled word.

Wait, that doesn't work by DesiredUsername (4.00 / 2) #5 Wed Mar 22, 2006 at 11:00:33 AM EST

If your letter is R, then ERTA becomes TREAR not TREAT.
