problem

[cFaniak]

I've got an infantil problem. I've got homework to do, but i don't know the word.

"I don't know how she does it, but Helen certainly has a way with _______ children." [OBEY]
what is the word?

 

[Ice]

difficult?

Not sure what context you are looking for.

 

[Kenny Shovel]

Disobedient?
Hyperactive?

BTW, long time no post cFaniak!

 

[cFaniak]

i have to "use the word given to form a word that fits in the line". any ideas?

 

[Motokid]

Are you looking for a word that means, or could mean [obey] ?

www.dictionary.com gave me these:

Main Entry: obey
Part of Speech: verb
Definition: conform
Synonyms: abide by, accede, accept, accord, acquiesce, act upon, adhere to, agree, answer, assent, bow to, carry out, comply, concur, discharge, embrace, execute, follow, fulfill, give in, give way, heed, hold fast, keep, knuckle under, live by, mind, observe, perform, respond, serve, submit, surrender, take orders

but I don't see how they could fit into your sentence.....

I could stick in the word "stubborn" and it would work...but I'm not sure that's what you want?

In that case 'Disobedient' seems to work fine.

Now I read CFaniak's description to mean that you had to rearrange OBEY and fit the new word in the line

 

[Isabell]

Are you learning English as a second language....Could the word be as simple as ......

"I don't know how she does it, but Helen certainly has a way with __her_____ children."

or perhaps you're looking for....

obnoxious....disorderly...

or you could turn it another way and say:

gifted.....mentally challenged...physically challenged...impaired...

I don't think it's an anagram, I still say 'Disobedient'.

 

[cFaniak]

long time no post cFaniak!

out of computer

Polish tasks. for example: "Jake's dishonesty was finally revealed" [honest]

 

[Ice]

Disobediant fits if it isn't an anagram - to disobey.

[cFaniak]
