Puzzling Puzzles

[Jessica]

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 = _ _ _ _ _ + _ _ _ _




NINE FLOORS
Determine who lives on which floor by these clues: Susan lives 1 floor below Pam. Pat lives 3 floors below John. Tim lives 4 floors below Ted. Jill lives 5 floors below Dave. Peter lives 6 floors below Pam. Assume that every person lives on a different floor.

Floor 9 __________
8 _____________
7 _____________
6 _____________
5 _____________
4 _____________
3 ______________
2 _____________
1 ______________

WORD WIT
A certain 6-letter word might be defined as "zealous supporter". If the word's second letter (an O) is changed to an I (as in "India"), it becomes a new word that might be defined as "zealous protester". What are the two words?

_ O _ _ _ _ and _ I _ _ _ _

WORD WIT
The past tense of most English verbs ends in the letter ED. What common four-letter verb, whose last letter is D but whose third letter is not E, is spelled the same way in its present tense and past tense?

_ _ _ D

I don't believe solve them, because I don't know much words in English, then if you put the puzzles in Spanish, I believe help you in your fun, good, it suffice with I telling you, I have a headache, because I don't find anything in your puzzles, I'm sorry.

[Jessica]

I don't know how to translate them into Spanish, sorry :P I'm sorry that you have a headache.
Tienes dolor de cabeza. Lo siento

[CrOtALiTo]

Don't worry, I have took a pill.

[Jessica]

Okay that's good
Don't worry, I took some headache medicine/a pill. <<<Correction
or
....I ate a pill. <<< that sounds really odd :P

[CrOtALiTo]

Why I need write some in my sentence?

[Jessica]

I don't know, I just thought that "I have took a pill" didn't make sense. oh well

[CrOtALiTo]

What, you after, I have to write the sentence so, I have some headache an pills.

[Jessica]

okay everyone, the first puzzle is solved, you don't need to solve it. If you want to challenge yourself, figure it out and then check the answers
