Word Fusion

Braingle.com on

Published in Brain Teasers

Each statement describes two words that when fused together create a new unrelated word (not a compound word). The clues do not necessarily indicate in which order the two words are attached. Example: This is the oldness of a tablet (pill + age = pillage).

1) This is a musical performed on a hill.
2) This is when a fish goes into a building.
3) This is a bird that is tardy.
4) This is used to prevent a skirt from getting shorter.


Solution:

1) opera + tor = operator
2) carp + enter = carpenter
3) emu + late = emulate
4) hem + lock = hemlock
