New Door Word Puzzle

You’re listening to A Way with Words, the show about language and how we use it.

I’m Grant Barrett.

And I’m Martha Barnette.

And Grant, I have a puzzle for you.

Okay.

Take these two words. You might want to write them down.

Okay.

Take the two words and arrange them into one word by rearranging the letters. And the two words that I want you to rearrange are new door.

New.

Take the letters in that. New door.

Okay.

N-E-W-D-O-O-R. Rearrange the letters into one word.

And what’s my end goal? Just to get something cool happening?

Yes. Get something cool happening. Wonder something. I don’t know.

Take the letters in new door. Rearrange them to form one word.

Oh, ha ha. One word.

You got it. I knew you would get it. I knew you would get it.

Well, you did hit one word a little hard there.

Oh, did I? That last time? You clued me in. Thank you for that.

That’s right. Who knows how long I would have struggled.

I thought you did really well. Rearranging the letters in new door to form literally one word.

Nice. Very good.

Yeah, my nine-year-old’s going to love this one.

I thought he might. I thought you would too.
