Compound Fractures

OK, our task is to find two small words you can pair together to form the original word before it was fractured. Sound easy? The short words are used only once.

For example: BOARD OR OVER PINE → ORPINE & OVERBOARD



Starting Fractures: ANY IN ONE OUT BODY BUTTER CROSS FIRE FORE LIGHT MEAN MOON SOME SIDE SOME THERE THING TIME FLIES TIMES WALK ANY FLIES WITH


Remaining Fractures: ANY BODY THING ANY

1. moonlight
2. butterflies
3. fireflies
4. crosswalk
5. sometimes
6. without
7. meantime
8. inside
9. therefore
10. someone
11.
12.

1. moon + light = moonlight

Hi soot.

2. Butter + flies = Butterflies - Hi Soot

Bernie

fire/flies

cross + fire = crossfire

some + body somebody

there + in = therein

We have "three" of six on the first go

Curly, Bernie and manXman have good solves

Bob, Gail and Michele...you've found possible solutions but not the correct ones

cross + walk = crosswalk

some + times = sometimes

anytime

with/out

OK ... crosswalk, sometimes and without are valid

Gail...a possible solution but not on the answer list

in/side

meantime

We're cooking with two burners now!!

there/fore

Good one manXman

someone

Good one manXman

any/body
any/thing

anybody
anything

Well done Gerry and CCBomber ... we can lay this one to rest
