Hi s.kenbo, these are the type of anagrams (aptagrams, or semi-aptagrams) that take much longer to put together than actually solve, lol.

Aspro, you'll be glad to hear that's the last of that type of quiz! Aptagrams are bl00dy hard to find!

Never seen them before, but soon cottoned on (well, probably took a little longer). They're excellent!

Did you think them up yourself, or borrow them from somewhere?
I always liked the Clint Eastwood anagram. I will have to Google it first though! |
|
By:
Cheers liqernpoker, they're a rare breed though, and lot's of playing with the Wordsmith.org anagram program to try to get something useful from remaining letters.

Hi kenbo, yeah, they're all mine, some go years back though. Myself and a colleague at work used to fire film anagrams at each other (in between work, as it were!), and I started to favour the 'apt' variety. But as I say, hard to find. You look for a name or something suitable in the title, then just try to work something around. Fails more often that not of course.
The Clint Eastwood one is "Old West Action". |

Like "Moon Starer" for Astronomer. There are quite a few listed on the internet somewhere. |

Hi liqernpoker, if you like the cryptics, then I've got a number of film/film-related cryptic clues (i.e. newspaper type clues) I've collected down the years. I can put them up on here one week.
