Add a Letter - U.S. States

By adding a letter to another word and anagramming, you get the name of a U.S. state.

Example: V + Tutor

The answer would be "V + mentor" = Vermont.

A mentor is a synonym for a tutor. Just add the "V" to get "Vmentor" and anagram to "Vermont". Seems simple enough.....maybe.


1. Y + Cutting the grass =

2. X + Place to sit =

3. S + Appoint =

4. I + Name =

5. A + Toward the wind =

6. O + "I thought you were a ____" =

7. A + Primitive structure =

8. L + A male gardener, maybe =

9. A + Financial people =

10. A + Emitting a sound as bells and gongs =

Here are my results so far (Wink)

1. Y + Cutting the grass = Y + MOWING = WYOMING

2. X + Place to sit = X + SEAT = TEXAS

3. S + Appoint =

4. I + Name = I + NAME :D = MAINE

5. A + Toward the wind =

6. O + "I thought you were a ____" = O + NEGRO ? = OREGON

7. A + Primitive structure =

8. L + A male gardener, maybe =

9. A + Financial people = A + BANKERS = NEBRASKA

I liked your #6, running-gag, but Soroban used the word I intended. Both work though.

And Soroban, I used the term "leeward" in this context:

Leeward - of, in, or moving in the direction towards which the wind blows. I guess that means moving "with" the wind, and not facing the wind.

But "lee" means The side away from the direction from which the wind blows.

And "alee" means at, on or to the leeward side.

All these definitions came from Dictionary, Encyclopedia and Thesaurus - The Free Dictionary

I remember working crossword puzzles, and one of the clues that came up often was "toward the sheltered side". The answer was "alee". I'll get these terms straight one day.
