Humbug Soup
An anagram game.

Fantasy draft practice.

Humbug Soup #1

Play it here. Clue: Marlins propose trade with Red Sox.

Humbug Soup is an anagram game: you're given the anagram of a baseball player, and you have to rearrange the letters to figure out whose name it is.

A final anagram, which may or may not be a player name, is revealed as you solve the player anagrams. The final answer, and the players in the anagrams, all have some relationship with the given clue.

This game is new, so I'd really appreciate your feedback. Is it too hard? Easy? Does it work? Are there bugs? Is anything confusing? Would you like more of these puzzles? Please let me know.

This version uses Javascript. I'm using Javascript instead of Flash to save bandwidth. I could switch over to Flash at some point, if need be.

I absolutely LOVE this game.

But . . .

JAUNTY SWINE???

I cannot come up with an answer. It has to be some type of trick. Somebody just give me the answer before I go insane.

I got all four of the players, but I am now not sure what the last anagram is. Argh.

I guess this means it wasn't too easy.

Was it too hard?

It was hard, but it wasn't too hard. I'm looking forward to the next one.
