Spoonerizing involves switching the initial consonant sounds, and perhaps changing the spelling, to create new words. For example, the clues "satisfy" and "tiny" would lead to the answers "sate and wee" which spoonerize into "wait and see". -1. A house built of turf -2. Coloring substances -3. Sword material -4. Certain -5. Small storage shelter -6. Starts suddenly aside from fright -7. Fib -8. A large, padded, protective glove -9. Pear-shaped stringed instruments -10. Inhabitants of the USS Enterprise [c---] -11. Ckose by -12. Storage container -13. Rooster -14. Baby fowl -15. Bloodsucking parasitic arachnid -16. Two-masted sailing vessel -a. Skin eruption -b. Garden tool -c. Owners of patents or lands, e.g. -d. Belonging to Winnie -e. In what manner? -f. Pluck a guitar's strings -g. Irritates; vexes -h. Concave vessel -i. Meadow -j. German river -k. Sibilant sound -l. Transport boat -m. Waaaaay up [h---] -n. Fathered -o. English tea accompaniment -p. Breaks suddenly into tiny pieces The moon is actually more useful than the sun since the moon gives us light at night when it's dark. The sun only gives us light during the day when it's already bright out.

The "lie" part was correct. The moon is actually more useful than the sun since the moon gives us light at night when it's dark. The sun only gives us light during the day when it's already bright out.

I thought "crew" was right but I couldn't come up with something for waaaay up that I could get to work with it. That's a new wrinkle for me. Did you ever stop to think and then forget to start again?
