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: Primetime Television
Clue: Carefree air arm
Answer: America Ferrera

The alphabet letters of the actress's name that stars in Ugly Betty, America Ferrera, can be rearranged to form the nonsense phrase, "carefree air arm", and vice versa.
