By the way, when we were creating these puzzles using randomized lists of words, we often thought of a silly game we played as children. We would take a dictionary (or a book, magazine or newspaper), randomly open it and with our eyes closed, drop our fingers onto the page. Whatever words they landed on would be written down. This would be repeated a few times until we basically had a jumbled list of words. Then we would challenge each other to come up with a story using these words. The stories would almost always be pure nonesense. But sometimes they were pretty hilarious. Give it a try, it's a lot of fun!

Here's what we came up with using the word list from Puzzle 1:

"Do either of you gals want some pineapple?" asked Peter the timekeeper via mobile messenger. The question exacted a toll: it would entirely entangle their faded jewellery and they began hissing. "Not to brag, but it's chockfull of violet protoplasm," he summed up. What remained unsaid was how the nihilistic starling sent from the barrack of the agency had dynamited the hilltop, wherein the sinless statesmen sitting on the girder of the bureau could then collude to calculate the exact co-ordinate to produce the crudest glassful of gravy. The result: the reloaded labor union rages. Despite all that promoting, no body won the nomination!
