word - I was inspired to create an anagram puzzle


Inspired by @QuantumTwinkie's anagram puzzles, I have created my own anagram puzzle. It has $20$ lines. Some are easy, some are hard, but whoever can find them all will deserve the tick $\color{green}{\checkmark}$.





  1. The nurse at the orphanage went to the _________ to check up on the children, but when she walked through the door, she said, "My, what a _____ ____!"





  2. Every time he used the telescope, he tried to tell his son that he was an __________, but the son just kept calling him a "____ ______".




  3. "I ____ _ _____!" shouted William ___________.




  4. Looking at that giant _____ in the sky, it looks like it _____ rain.





  5. "As a witch, you have two _______," said the old woman. "Do you want to fly on a broom or make some _______?"




  6. The ______ gnomes were in ______ of being knocked over by the cat.




  7. A ____ is a type of food that has a ____ of tortilla folded over some mixtures of other food (e.g. beans, lettuce, tomatoes, etc).




  8. Joe likes to think of the sun as the _____ of the solar system, and _____ as the mind.





  9. The students in ___ _________ were unexpectedly greeted by the ____________.




  10. It was not until the following week that I realised my secret _______ in the mysterious letter was actually _______... how strange.




  11. Political parties decide the _________ of candidates for upcoming _________.





  12. "You have the right to be ______!" warned the officer. But the man pleaded, "______ to me! I have been framed!"




  13. "Where's the flour?" Mary asked. "I need it to _______ the batter." But Joseph couldn't find it, though he could have sworn he left the bag in the _______.




  14. She couldn't purchase the phone on eBay, as she had ___ ______ on her _____ ____.





  15. After hours of searching, he finally found the book 'The _____ Eating Zombies' on the top _____.




  16. He called her a "_____ ______" when she said that her painting of the _____ ______ was actually art.




  17. They used a _________ to pull the cart of some of the instruments for the _________.




  18. "I can't concentrate with a noisy ______," she explained, "which is why I always ____ __ homework."





  19. Rumour has it that Cory ____ a fridge that makes ____.




  20. He had yet to decide where he will ____ the treasure, but he was definitely keeping the ____ for himself.








Edit:


@IanF1 found a solution to 2, that is not the original. Thus, there are two solutions to that. The same applies to how @Philipp found a solution to 9.

After @Kevorobin posted the first answer regarding the 16th line (below), I will provide a hint to make it easier.



  1. He called her a "_____ ______" when she said that her painting of the _____ ______ was actually art, pretending that it didn't exist. Considering what he said, it was quite ironic. Nonetheless, the painting wasn't finished; she had yet to paint the station.
