Bits n' Bites

Each of the puzzles below contains clues to the bits and bytes to recreate ten of Looney4Labs’ favorite friends…see if you can assemble one of her buddies.

Example: one fourth of a jungle king + two sixths of overseas
(lion) + (abroad) = L + AB = LAB

PS…a question mark after a clue indicates wordplay or trickery is afoot :biggrin:

= 3. Three sevenths of a transmission + two sixths of a cigarette starter?

4. COLor+LIE= collie

6. MALTa + dESErt = Maltese

[3]2. beam + angle = beagle

I agree with Bob (down below) I should look closer

manXman and Michele are spot on

5. GREYstoke + newsHOUND = greyhound

10. WHIPlash + carPET

Looks like LadyK meant her answer for number 2 rather than 3.

9. PUb + Guard

1. nAKed + capITAl = Akita

Everyone is spot on ... to include LadyK who meant #2 (not 3)

8. POInt + huNTER = Pointer

3. gearBOX + filtER = Boxer

7. BASco + asSETs = Basset?

Michele and Cue have good solutions

Try again CCBomber...not a Basset Hound

7. POOch + nooDLE = Poodle

You nailed it Michele

Have a wonderful weekend!
