--COMBOS Form 16 longer words by joining pairs of short words and adding the letter 'B' at the beginning. For example, 'B' plus 'ELL' and 'HOP' form =BELLHOP .(NOTE-All of the answers begin with the letter "B".) (I'll have to make fewer columns) A ...../ARE..../AD..../ASH.../ =B____________________,B____________________
ADE..../AT..../AGE..../ALL..../.=B____________________,B___________________
AM..../AND..../ANT..../CAR..../=B______________________,B_________________
CAST../EACH.../FIRE.../FOOT.../=B______________________,B__________________
FULLY./HEAD.../HER.../LAYER.../=B_____________________,B___________________
MAN.../OAT.../.ON..../OR....../=B_____________________,B___________________
OX..../RAKE../RICK.../RIG...../=B_____________________,B__________________
ROAD../ROW.../SIN..../SWAIN.../=B_____________________,B__________________ You will be taking TWO of the short words on the left and adding them to ONE of a beginning letter "B",for each word. For instance:  -...B +..ARE..+..FOOT = BAREFOOT I hope this helps. I have probems lining them up. As you see, I put a slash (/), between each short word. Sorry.

[b]This puzzle is a little different than other 'COMBOS' in the past, BECAUSE ALL ANSWERS BEGIN WITH TNE LETTER "B". So I will add one more word, then let it run, until it's beyond anyone's interest.
[b]As in my example, at bottom== B..+..ARE..+..FOOT=BAREFOOT
----------------------one more is==B..+..OX...+..CAR.=BOXCAR [/b] Keep it fun....  Thanks, Lynn, that Wit Wrencher was beyond my comprehension![/b]

I must be missing something. Probably need to review the older "combo" concept. Tacking on b's in ways that mean thing is easy for single words, but becomes more difficult if you want to make complete sentences.
Here are the odd-looking results of my own twist on the game:

Thank you, CTD! However, we are NOT trying to make complete sentences.
The instructions, and 2 of the answers are examples of the way this type of 'COMBOS WORD PUZLE' is worked.
The beginning of each WORD is the letter "B". Then you simply attach two of the words in the left column to this "B", thereby making the ONE LONGER WORD BEGIN WITH A "B".
I have already given two of the answers. Here are two more. If you don't enjoy it, as I always say, do something else.
1) [b] BAREFOOT 2) BOXCAR 3) BONFIRE 4) BEACHHEAD You are to take "TWO" of the short words on the left, and then add them to the letter "B" , which will begin a longer word. Thank you for your time, CTD. Perhaps Bex was correct, you may not wish to work Word Puzzles. I find them to be very mind stimulating. There are NOW, only 12 WORDS to complete. Thank you for your time. It also helps to cross off the shorter words as used, as they are used only ONCE. Have a nice weekend, in our Lord. Sincerely, Abishag  [/b]

Okay, I'll probably pass on that. I'm having too much fun playing my own style. I'm getting better, too. Check this out:

Good Morning CTD, BEX, LYNN, denis?  Well, CTD, when I first opened this forum (as always it logged me off), I then re-entered. I thought I saw a website (for me to click on, as to how to play your type of game?) Maybe not. Still working on my first cup of coffee. LOL! I will see 'your instructions tomorrow'...'Lord willing. Thank you for understanding. God bless,

Aw nothing like that. I just took it as a challenge to come up with sentences that are still sentences when you add 'b' to the front of each word.
Example:
Ears led.
Bears bled.
See?
It's pretty tricky because the vocabulary is severely restricted.
(The above were not puzzles, but responses.)

OK, fill us in with 'WHAT YOUR STYLE' of your word puzzle is. What does this mean? .... **** "An ex rides logs" ???? _______________________________ AWWWWW SHUCKS! I really thought you'd be proud of me for solving your puzzle. You have to admit, to rearrange all those letters of yours and come up with a sentence.....I DID DO a good one, huh? "Design as Rolex"....at least I think it's down right intelligent! HA! Ha! HA!  WHAT ON EARTH DOES THAT MEAN??? *****

I'm impressed that you managed a solution - I just wasn't making puzzles, at least not intentionally lol !

This is really funny.... 
I don't understand why this is so difficult to complete.
However, I DO KNOW it is different from our previous ones, that did NOT call for the word to begin with a "B"- (letter).
So, here are two more.....maybe it will get you moving, as you cross off the smaller words used.
5) BRICKLAYER
6) BANTAM
I think what is causing the lack of understanding, is that the words are NOT DIVIDED at the REAL syllables, when pronounced.
This too shall pass.
So, we await somebody to help out. There are NOW only 10 words to complete. As we wind this down, there can't be very many possibilities.
I wonder where our friend Denis is?? He is really good with Word Puzzles. In the meantime, I am having fun with the 'icons'. LOL! God Bless, Abishag <><

Well, we continue on.....LOL! I keep hoping SOMEBODY will add a word besides myself!
Two more answers are:
7)---BASIN
8)---BALLAD
So, therefore, we now have only 8 words to complete this
"COMBOS" word puzzle.
Let me also remind you of the remaining shorter words to add:
ADE---/AGE---/AND---/ASH
AT----/CAST--/FULLY--
HER----/MAN---/OAT---OR
RAKE---/RIG---/ROAD
ROW---/SWAIN
Come on, guys! You can do it! I know you can!
Beginning with the letter "B", add two shorter words to complete a longer word.
Blessings, Abishag <><
