Twist-a-Rhyme

Here’s a fun little brainteaser I saw that I thought I’d share with y’all:

Rearrange the letters of the four words in each set to form four new words that rhyme. For example, given the words BEARD, HERDS, DAIS, and ADDER, you would anagram them to spell BREAD, SHRED, SAID, and DREAD.

1. ONSET, NEWS, WRONG, HORNET

2. CURES, SOWER, SEVER, STEER

Who I Am ePeterso2I’m Eric Peterson, and my email address is epeterso2@puzzlehead.org. I’m a software engineer who lives in a suburb of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I’ve enjoyed solving puzzles for years, and a few years ago I began constructing puzzles of my own. If you’re ever in Broward County and would like to get together some time, please send me a note by email and let me know. I love the opportunity to meet with other puzzleheads, especially if it involves lunch. Puzzle Testing I believe that the best way to make a puzzle even better is to ask someone else to solve it. You learn so much about how people think, how people approach your puzzle, pitfalls they may encounter, and outright errors in your construction by having someone else try it before you unleash it upon the world. If you’re a puzzle constructor, I would be honored to test your puzzle for you. Send me email with your puzzle or a link to it, and I’ll try solving it, as long as I have time available to do so. I’m a busy guy, so my time is limited … but I’m always open to a challenge.

Most of the bugs that caused ePeterso1 to go haywire have been corectted in ePeterso2.
