  2. CIITRC
  3. UMLCICA
  4. KVAOD
  5. AHOTSHEPP
  6. TALYINLAKI
  7. AESMMNIGU
  8. NGCORAINI
  9. LAISYITN
  10. EEREPTRTMAU
  11. GIFTYCERVISI PAC
  12. OICAGRN
  13. NDCTYUOICITV

I got them all pretty quickly except for one where a mean guy put an extra S on the end that messed me up.

You are clearly better at these sorts of puzzles than I am, but which one has an extra S? I might have messed up when inputting these into a scramble program, but I cannot now tell which one?

One comment about 11. Apparently, the scramble program I used just uses 2 words to indicate there are two words, not that the letter or even the numbers of letters in each word are correct. Strange, I'll admit, but I don't do scrambles for fun, so am not sure what the usual rules are. :)

Maybe I just wrote down an extra S on phopshate. I had phosphates on my sheet.

It helps to write these down - like actually write the letters.

Vinegar
Muriatic
Peroxide
Conductivity
Organic
Specific Gravity

I’m really bad at unscrambling words.


Citric
Vodka
Organic
Vinegar

That’s all I could find.
