Puzzles

 

These are original puzzles that Marie has created.  Besides being a book-worm, Marie is also a puzzle-hound.  ~grin~

 

Word Phrases

From each word phrase, see how many words of 3 or more letters you can make.  Marie does these the old fashioned way - by paper and her brain, not by using some sort of computer program.  So included in her answer lists are things like contractions, medical words, slang, some archaic words that she's come across in doing puzzles over the years, some foreign words that she considers part of her "regular" vocabulary as far as puzzles are concerned, and whatever new words she discovers that strike her fancy.  ~smile~

Phrase Intersections

Think of related words that fit in to the blanks and intersect the listed phrase.  Blanks on a line indicate more than one word.

I was informed that some of the puzzles were tougher than I had intended, so I've created two hint files for each one.  The first hint file contains the first letter of each line.  The second hint file contains the last letter of each line.
