Guest puzzles - are these wedding-related anagrams too hard?

beccak, 7 May, 2014 at 21:44 Posted on Planning 0 15

I saw a cute idea online where some little quizzes were included in the order of ceremony or on the back of place cards, just as something for guests to do if they're sat waiting. I've used a website to make a crossword and wordsearch and have also come up with some anagrams (with the help of an online tool!) I just asked my OH to see if he could guess them and he hardly got any - so are they too difficult? Have a go and let me know! They're all wedding-related words or phrases:

MAD BIRDIES: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

SPAR POOL: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

CAST FINDER: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

SAM BENT: _ _ _ _ _ _ _

ENTER EGGING MAN: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

GAME WAR VISOR: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

ELF ROWS: _ _ _ _ _ _ _

DEBIT HER SKIS: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

FADE WIN HAND SNUB: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

QUOTE BET THRU WHO: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

    I just spent a couple of minutes looking at them and got 6 - I think they're fine - you don't want them to be too easy!

    Oh good - you're clearly better than my HTB! I tried to mix some easy ones with some that people will have to think harder about. The crossword and wordsearch will be easier so these will be good for the people up for a challenge (they're just going to be printed on the back of my order of ceremony 'fans' and given out randomly).

    I love the idea, and no, I don't think they are too hard. I might pinch some of these if you don't mind. Some of our guests are regular quizzers, something like this would be great for our tables. I wonder if anyones done any wedding dingbats?

    I quite like this. You could put a little note above that guests should ask each other for help, this is a great way to get people chatting with each other and mingling while expanding their minds.

    I got them all except this one:

    FADE WIN HAND SNUB: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

    There's a mismatch between the number of letters and spaces - 15 letters, 14 spaces. Can't work it out at all lol.

    But I love the idea and do intend to pinch lol. I also found some others online that people might like:

    RAM RIDE: _ _ _ _ _ _ _

    GROOM REAPPRAISAL: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

    A GRIM ERA: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

    FILLING A NOVEL: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

    Ooops - good job I did a test run on you lot! That one should be 'Husband and Wife' but there is clearly an extra N in the anagram, so I'll have to change it.

    Well done on getting all the others, even I forgot what some were last night and it took me ages to remember!

    Also, edited to add - gaaaaah just noticed my sig is now 3 months & xxx days. I totally missed the 4 month marker at the weekend!

    Ha ha love it, thanks! I used https://www.wordsmith.org/anagram/ but sometimes for longer phrases it wouldn't come up with anything so I had to break it down into different parts, and sometimes it came up with some hilariously inappropriate results, eg for 'throw the bouquet' one of the options was 'how hot butt queer'!!

    Interesting concept! If you're aiming to make these puzzles more engaging for guests, consider simplifying a few of the anagrams or providing small clues—it can really help with participation. Also, if you’re looking to design a creative setting or backdrop for your puzzle theme, a great Fantasy World Builder can be useful for crafting imaginative environments that enhance the overall wedding game experience. Just a fun idea to make things more immersive!

    Interesting idea with the wedding-themed anagrams! If you're planning to personalize more aspects of the event, it's also helpful to consider legal or employment matters when organizing timelines. For anyone navigating job changes in Qatar, especially around event planning careers, this tool for an Easy Gratuity Estimate might be worth checking out — it simplifies end-of-employment calculations accurately.

    These anagrams are quite fun and add a clever twist to any wedding event, but a few might be a bit tricky for some guests to solve quickly. You might consider offering a small hint beside each one to keep the experience light and engaging. For those organizing themed activities or giveaways, using a reliable DevEx calculator tool can also help you plan any digital reward systems smoothly. Keeping things balanced between fun and accessible makes the whole event more enjoyable!

Teachers and parents frequently use these graded word lists to support consistent skill development.
