Ok, a fair warning. This one has gotten several complaints. Apparently, only 2 out of every 100 people know the third word at all, but since we haven't had one in almost a week, here you go. There will be hints in the comments. If you get stuck, the internet will help, especially with the hints.

1. He was able,
2. to kill his brother,
3. here is the memorial.

What are Danagrams?

Danagrams are little word puzzles that I came up at work one day when I was bored. The basic premise is that there are three clues.

Example Danagram:
  1. Tuna Coffin
  2. Candy Crutch
  3. Weight Lifter
Each clue corresponds to a word. To get from the answer to the first clue to the second clue, you need to add one letter. To get from the answer to the second clue to the third clue, add another letter.

Example Solution:
  1. Can
  2. Cane (Added an "e" to "can")
  3. Crane (Added an "r" to "cane")
