Cryptic crosswords and other puzzles use anagrams as clues. An anagram is a word or phrase created by rearranging the letters of another word or phrase. Many times the clues are nonsense phrases. In the puzzle below, ALL of the clues are anagrams and the answers fit the "Title Category".

Using the category title as a guide, rearrange the letters of the nonsense phrases to form an appropriate answer in the boxes across.

An example of a cryptic anagram:

Category Title: Large American Corporations
Clue: Yale Strongman
Answer: Morgan Stanley

The alphabet letters of the company name "Morgan Stanley", can be rearranged to form the nonsense phrase, "Yale strongman", and vice versa.
