Wacky Wordies Again
I got a lot of positive responses (and a quite a few google-driven blog hits!) from the Wacky Wordies I posted a couple of weeks ago, so with Chanukah coming, I though we could all use some more fun and games.
Most of these are from the Games Magazine mid-80s puzzle we worked on over Thanksgiving weekend, with a few extras from other sources. I have the answers to all but #16 - that one stumped us all! So a gold star to anyone who gets that one!
Enjoy!

Thanks, Ezzie and David (is that David as in Soccer Dad?)
Ezzie, correct on #5. David, correct on 1, 3, 7, 10, 11, and 12. I don't get your #4, and while your #15 is a possible answer, there's a cleverer one.
2. roll of quarters
13. teeny bopper
Anon: Correct on #13, #2 has a better solution.
OK, here are answers for the ones that nobody got yet. Skip the rest of this comment if you're still working on them!

Mixed Emotions
Way to go Ben!
RN are initials for Nurse. (like MD for doctor.)
Right, it hit me after I posted my comment. I didn't see the RN as a separate word since I knew the other answer and was just seeing it as the word "horn" written in two fonts.

I hope you can help me solve these!
It is me again. The "round" one should be shifted over ( like straight down in a line). Also the "T" one should be straight like a math problem. I guess the formatting got messed up when I published it.
Also the "out" one should be straight too. lol
1. that's beside the point
2. better safe than sorry
3.the final round up
4.three strikes your out
5.space invaders
6.start of something big
7.dipsy doodle
8.three tea total
what about the one with "accident" written completely sideways
and block written in old gothic font
The accident written sideways is accident prone. And the other one you mentioned is Chip off the old block
I have two I need help with please:
1. a hand over the word in which is slanted to the left and then the word "Hello"
2. skidoo

Many thanks for your help!
