Stumped

Remember that word puzzle calendar? It took almost entire month, but I found one to stump me. See if you can solve it:

The 10 words below all belong in the same category. To find each word, remove one letter, then rearrange the remaining letters:

1. PUMA
2. MEOW
3. NUDE
4. AISLE
5. ABORT
6. TOOTH
7. MIRAGE
8. CHROME
9. NONSALE
10. PHILMOUSE

I am so smart. S-M-R-T

Heather said...

shane - Yes, you are! Did my clue help, or did you guess Milhouse first?

I'm stumped by 9. Is there actually a name in there?

Shane said...

Haha yeah it did help, but I started with just making words out of the first couple and really only got "Ned" "Moe" and "Lisa" that made sense.

Lem - 9 is Nelson. HA-Ha

lem - Here's a clue: "HAW, HAW!" With a nasally accent.
