Inspired by @QuantumTwinkie's anagram puzzles.

Partial answers are also welcome :)

  4. They were crazy, ______ ___, ready to head off for the adventure, before they all scrapped the idea and replied to the email with one word: "_________".

  5. But the ____ ___ that had the _______ cheat sheets, was hidden in Joseph's locker... though nobody said anything because they all got A+ in maths for the first time.

  6. Sadly, he never made it to his brother's _______ because the ____ ___ out and he couldn't drive anymore, but he still mourned his death.

  7. She found him quite ________ when she saw him ________ in the parade.

  8. That _____, I crept out of bed thinking that everyone was asleep... until I saw some_____: a pair of yellow eyes staring at me from outside my window.

  9. She knew I wouldn't like the movie — it was so scary! (I think it was called "The ____".) But what was even scarier, was when she ____ned at me and turned off the lights...

  10. I knew he was an expert at surviving out in the woods — he even knew how to build a ____ that could actually float! But what I didn't know was that he would let out a huge ____ every ten minutes. They smelt so bad, I couldn't sleep in the tent anymore.

  11. The wooden planks holding the mattress of the bed ____ped when he jumped on it, just like I predicted. His ____ would now have to take place on the couch.

  12. My grandpa calls flight engineers "______" and ______ engineers "seamen". But why do the words have to end with "men"? Women work, too.

  13. When my sister noticed that the ________ were each not wearing a name-tag, she thought they were ________. That made me wonder whether or not there exists a person who has no name...

  14. ____ _______ in famous tales and myths kill dragons, unlike David, who killed Goliath. But why? Dragons don't exist! I bet you there is not one dragon-like creature in the entire _____ ______. With such advanced technology nowadays, we should have found one by now!

  15. His ______ parents were found dead in the ______. "Slenderman does exist," he muttered. "Now the question is: where are my real parents?"

  17. The character in the game wears these special _____ that give you a _____ to make you jump higher, a bit like Barry in Jetpack Joyride, except there is no jetpack.

  18. When I looked at her new pair of _______s, I got jealous and started to become _______ at myself. Why couldn't I have those? But then I thought that perhaps if I wore them, people would notice my big ears, which is definitely not what I wanted.

  19. _ ____ trees, especially the _____ ones. They always provide a cool shade in a hot day, and they make me think of piece — but I would never hug a tree! Ugh.. yuck. Imagine getting sap or ants all over your fingers.

  20. He goes to church every Sunday, but he can't stand the sound of the _____. Every time it starts playing, he would just _____ and cover his ears.


Edits do not change any answers (unless requested); they just improve grammar.

Also, @Eutherpy found a solution to 2, that is not the original. Thus, there are two solutions to that. The same applies to how @Kevorobin found a solution to 14.
