Anagrams gape

Anagrams - where the letters of a word or phrase are rearranged into another word or phrase have long been a staple of crossword puzzles (and Channel 4's Countdown). For this week's mindbender you have to solve a set of anagrams that consist of a single word that, as far as I know, can only be rearranged into one other word, e.g. the letters in the word "brackets" can only be rearranged into the word "backrest".

The puzzles

Rearrange the letters of each of the following words to come up with another word.

  1. KNEAD
  2. ADHERE
  3. RIBALD
  4. DYNAMO
  5. HARDCASE
  6. GENERATE
  7. LANCASTER
  8. TAPESTRIES

The solutions

  1. NAKED
  2. HEADER
  3. BRIDAL
  4. MONDAY
  5. CHARADES
