THE PUZZLE CORNER: JULY 9, 2011

Another weekend is upon us, but let's keep those wits sharp as The Free Choice E-zine presents some more enigmas for you to solve.

BEFORE AND AFTER
Two things, sharing at least one word between them, are combined to create a new item. Do you know what it is, based upon the clue below?

A famous mallard's accessory?

COMMON BONDS
The items in each group below have something in common. Do you know what it is?
01. {Blue jays, Cardinals, Orioles}
02. (Ravens, Falcons, Eagles}

We'll reveal all next weekend. But for now, let's look inside THE ANSWERS BOX for the results of July 2's Puzzle Corner.

THE LETTER SHUFFLE
Out of the letters in the word INDEPENDENCE, you can form: deed, deep, den, depend, dice, did, die, died, din, dine, dip, end, I, ice, in, indeed, inn, need, needed, nine, pen, pi, piece, pin, (and) pine. Other words besides the 25 listed might be possible.

REBUS
DOINOORS is indoors (the word IN within the word DOORS), somewhere you hate being on a beautiful day.
