Sorry B'man, just didn't have the mental energy-- actually, I thought somebody else would post all the answers in a jiffy, so why bother....
PS: still don't have time today to untangle your messes. If nobody solves 'em today, how about re-issuing them during the holidays?

If there is a prize. I will have to share it with Geraldine. A. Because she helped me and B. I'm colour blind and didn't have a clue what the colours of the rainbow were!

Hi Charles,
Blame my insomnia! But they can't be all correct surely? I must have got some wrong. Tell you what - I'll have a go at making some more up for you in recompense. I'll do one on Moths - that should keep you going for a while...  james

I'm warning you!-- you do moths, and I'll do anagrammed palindromes!
But by the way, Dave, how DO you make the anagrams? Surely not with pencil and paper. Is there some sort of unscrambling software that searches for words in an array of letters?
