    5 & 6 seem like unscrambles more then a puzzle.

    7 & 8 I got immediately.

    I use to do some of these they had in the newspaper in the mornings long long way back.

    Yeah, 5 and 6 are the simplest type. 7 and 8 are more interesting but still pretty simple.

    I didn't realize we had the spoiler function on here, I'll switch to that. That will work much better.
