Yes, very easy, wasn't it? It's kind of hard to come up with a hard quote and then scramble it. Your turn. (Is this some kind of an exchange or something? It's not limited to this thread, either. We keep answering each other's questions on the Actors' Quotes thread as well.) [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

*bump* - I love this game, my friends and I have been playing it for ages, I had no idea it was here!

And I got new ideas to make it a bit more difficult and interesting! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
1. If you replace a substantive with a verb, you preserve the verb's ending and tense, adding it to the substantive instead.
example: it fined to seem "It seemed so fine"
2. If you replace a susbt with an adjective / adverb you preserve the adjective's original ending, adding it to the substantive:
example:the roader the long, the feeter the weary. the longer the road, the wearier the feet
3. You can also replace a verb with an adjective, thus switching their endings, and also revert the order of pronouns, prepositions, etc, thus making a true jumble of the entire sentence:
example: Mind is sufferinger it the in to be nobling.- It is nobler in the mind to be suffering.

Sound like fun, eh? If you think it doesn't - just you wait - you'll soon be convinved it is!

So , here's the first one:
If I the realed had Stride killer, I killed can you.

Hmmm... I've never done this before, and I'm not sure I understood completely, but I'll try anyway. It's probably far too easy to be any fun, but still, here it goes;
Destroy must be the ringed.

Okay - new one, a bit more complex:

"Them murmur now remember", Tom fewed, "sons still go of yetting, wander in forgotten kinging, evilness in lonely thinging from folk walk are heed thatless ground."

this has rhyme and rythm if you read it loud- cool. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

symestreem, congrats, you got it, I had given up on anybody unscrambling that quote!
And a warm welcome to the Downs from me! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

(PS: It's only now that I noticed that this bit has rhyme and rhythm in the original, too, not only when scrambled - wonderful piece of writing)

It take you, you leave safety can cannot you it behind with nor with.

This is a book quote. The letters are not scrambled, but the words are. The comma is after the correct word, but the period is not.

You cannot leave with safety behind you, nor can you take it with you

That is my guess.

It sounds like it could be what Arwen says, "It is mine to give to whom I will". Only, the 'is' is missing.
