I am so confused with these puzzles! Can anyone solve them? It's not homework. It's just for fun. :) I want to see if anyone is very good at puzzles, because I'm not.
MIXAGRAMS
Each line contains a 5-letter word and a 4-letter word that have been mixed together (the order of the letters in each word has not been changed). Unmix the two words on each line and write them in the spaces provided. When you're done, find a two-word answer to the clud by reading down the letter columns in the answers.
CLUE: They're in a lather
B E L S O N U S E = _ _ _ _ _ + _ _ _ _
S H E L L P O U N = _ _ _ _ _ + _ _ _ _
G U R A I V D E A = _ _ _ _ _ + _ _ _ _
S L Y O R S U P E = _ _ _ _ _ + _ _ _ _
