Taking inspiration from The Enigma (the monthly publication of The National Puzzlers’ League), here is a version of Letter Banks. Given below are sentences with labelled blanks. Using the letters from a short word (the ‘bank’) which has no repeated letters, make longer words of the specified length by using all the letters in the bank at least once and repeating any letter as many times as needed.
Exmaple: Margin (the bank) makes anagramming and ramming.
