english - Double Speak - Phrases that need rewording


Each of these phrases can be reworded into a Double Speak phrase. A Double Speak phrase has two homophones together in the same phrase. For example a "Warrior's time of rest" could also be called a "Knight's Night". The thirteen phrases that need rewording are as follows:



  • Unwarranted reversal.

  • Untied rope.

  • Cover up a detector.


  • Reduce the education.

  • Wedge of the clock belonging to us.

  • Story about the end of a dog.

  • Rabbit's fur.

  • Deserve a pot.

  • A pair of one-on-one battles.

  • Find a purpose for some wood.

  • Path taken by the bottom of a tree.

  • Pilfer some metal.

  • Curve on a boat.



Once you have found each of these 13 Double Speak phrases, look closely. There is a fourteenth phrase that needs rewording hiding somewhere. I'm looking for this 14th Double Speak phrase; it is the final solution to this puzzle.
