hello people...

first and foremost, i would like to explain that this word puzzle is from a local newspaper in Malaysia. every week day, there would be 2 new word puzzles. thus by friday, there would be all together 10 new word puzzles. i find these puzzles challenging. sometimes i can easily get the words... but many times, i can't. thus, that is why i join this forum and sincerely ask for any assistance that you can render to me. i hope to improve my command in English. thank you all very much in advance.

Monday 2/10/05 word puzzles are:-
1) When people (_ _ _ITAT_), they are deep in thought.
2) A (_UB_) is a shape which one can identify readily.

hello there GG. thanx for you input. i went to thesaurus.com to check out the word BLAZERS. there's no such word. but there is BLAZER... which is a type of attire... much like a jacket.

anyway, i thought long and hard and this is my answer... PLAYERS. what do you think GG?

cheers.

GiddyGad · Post by **GiddyGad** » Tue Oct 04, 2005 3:04 pm

Oops,

...my dictionaries say it's also (2) something bright and glittering(like a very bright day), and (3) a human or an object which attracts a lot of attention.

Smiles,

GiddyGad
P.S. Anyway, PLAYERS fit better I think.

GG... yeah... i thought so. PLAYERS sounds better for that particular sentence.

GG, Dixie, Prof & everyone else...
the puzzle for 5/10/2005

5) Clearing out a long-neglected attic can be a (D_ _TY) job.

6) A (_I_) is told with the intention of deceiving someone.

Thanx again in advance for the help.

Cheers & Regards. :)
