Anagram Hints for SHOUTING AT THE RAIN
An anagram is a word made from the letters of another words such as “listen” and “silent”. In my latest book, SHOUTING AT THE RAIN, all of the characters’ names are anagrams.
Click here to see my original blog post on Nerdy about the anagrams. 🙂
AS PROMISED, I am here to give my readers some hints as to the anagram solutions. Please see the list below.
Each line begins with a character’s name, followed by a hint. In some cases, I have included partial solutions or given the letter breakup of the answer. For example ” –5- —6— means there are two words in the solution – the first word is 5 letters and the second word is 6 letters.
Here are your anagram clues!!
Shouting at the Rain – Three words that describe a beverage everyone in the neighborhood drinks
Strong shoulder – three words: (1) opposite of weak (2) group of elephants (3) –4—
