In this brainteaser, your aim is to make a series of four different words. The first group asks you for a seven letter word to fit a definition or description. The next group, group two, asks you to use an anagram of the words in group 1. Do this by 'dropping' a letter and making the word six letters long. Do this to the next two groups, group 3 five letters and group 4 four letters.  Group 1 X1. maybe X2. sure X3. very old X4. stays X5. noise in the sky X6. flow of electricity X7. reached X8. book users X9. halted group 2 X1. a group of words X2. keep X3. Dog X4. Seagoing X5. Changing direction X6. Go back X7. Motorist X8. Deleted X9. Mailed Group 3 X1. Ration X2. Inactive X3. Silly X4. Collier X5. Beneath, below X6. Piano doctor X7. Italian opera composer (name) X8. Challenges X9. Bards Group 4 X1. Impetuous X2. Get weary X3. A number X4. Control X5. Sand ridge X6. Ancient writing symbol X7. Go on horse X8. Hearing organs X9. Prevent
Never explains what exactly you did to deserve that coal in
your stocking; if you have to ask, maybe that's the problem!

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.
