Solution: Disregarding the leading numbers, the ten sets of letters are each a scrambled version of a commonly misspelled word, in its misspelled form. Unscrambled, the words are: Embarass, Defenite, Abscence, Facinate, Opertunity, Seperate, Truely, Villin, Parlament, Guidence. Once unscrambled, the words each need to be fixed again to their correct spellings. Once fixed a second time, one can look at the letter in the word indicated by the leading number. Doing this, one gets: eMbarrass, defInite, abSence, faScinate, opPortunity, separatE, truLy, viLlain, parliamEnt, guiDance. The indexed letters spell out the appropriate solution word: "MISSPELLED". |
