Yeah, but it's finding the letters. Also not easy when you don't know where in the name the O is!

Plus there aren't that many 'tasks' in Tolkien's works. Ringbearing for Frodo, reclaiming the Silmarils for Feanor & Sons, getting a Silmaril for Beren & Luthien ... but these are too long and aren't synonyms for anyone.

Let's see. 'Lookout' for Balin. Again, not a synonym.

Burglar/thief/thieving ... not anagrams of Bilbo/Baggins.

Then there's gardener for Sam and steward for many, and king for many, and landlord for Butterbur. But these are *professions* or positions, not individual tasks. Also, not character-synonyms.

Unless there was ever a king whose name was a synonym of 'monarch.'
