PUZZLE OF THE I FIND ANOTHER ONE
Each string of letters below was formed by taking a common two-word phrase in which both words start with the same pair of letters, removing the first two letters from each word, and closing the space between the words. For example, NDSHIELDPER represents WINDSHIELD WIPER, which STRTICIPLE is PAST PARTICIPLE. If you can get 16 or more of the answers, then, good golly, you're clever: 1. AINLESSEEL; 2. JAMARTY; 3. OCOLATEIP; 4. CRETRVICE; 5. EEZEAME; 6. RDTALOG; 7. MMONLD; 8. ORTRIFT; 9. ASHOOD; 10. TTLELL; 11. ZZAE; 12. UNDBIN; 13. ENCHIES; 14. LLISIONURSE; 15. ERLLY; 16. UEOOD; 17. LONY; 18. MMYCK; 19. ARPENT; 20. TCE; 21. DIAK; 22. TRM; 23. LICOT; 24. TEVE.
