Scrambled Words Ending in “A”

How many of these words that end in “a” can you unscramble in 20 minutes? There are six each of 5-, 6-, 7-, 8-, 9- and 10-letter words, listed alphabetically. (To make it a little easier, the first letter of each word is capitalized in the scrambled version.)

Note: If you think you don’t see an uppercase letter in a scrambled word, look again: what appears to be a lowercase “L” is probably an uppercase “I.”

Thanks for your feedback. My hat is off to you if you’re the one who scored 100%. I stink at unscrambling words!

Really enjoying the Scrambled series, particularly the A-G ones - those ones also easier ;)

It's always funny with the big words because the USA removes a lot of letters, in this case ENCYCLOPAEDIA, HAEMOPHILIA, ANAESTHESIA - so it was surprising to see that the Greek origins of ONOMATOPOEIA are retained across the pond!

For an amusing reversal, the UK spells "Foetus" in a bizzarre way despite this word being from Latin.

I’m glad you enjoyed them.

I’m not sure how I can solve the UK/US spelling differences problem in this particular series, except for being more mindful to the point of choosing to exclude words I know have spelling differences. That will leave out some of the best words, though, IMO.

Stay tuned for H through Z. (Well, most of those letters, anyway.)
