koo-ROO-koo-koo-koo-koo-koo-KOOOOOToday, Kara crafted a 5 Questions quiz in which each question contains the name of a Canadian city, so I thought I’d match her by coming up with a Brain Game about our neighbor to the north. Each of the following words/phrases is an anagram of the name of a Canadian province. Can you name them? Good luck!

1.  NEAT HACKSAWS
2.  ADD FUNNEL NOW
3.  HAM BISCUIT BROIL
4.  AVOCATIONS
5.  WREN WINS BUCK

Here are the ANSWERS.

  2. Thanks to some teacher and a little memory from geography class I got them all with little more than a glance. The great thing about the Canadian names is they are distinct enough in the lettering that if you know the names they match up easy.
    Good job on the anagrams.
