I still don't think we ever got the answer to "LASTIMASSE"... I think it was Val that posted it, so since no one has got that yet i would appreciate it if you could tell us now Val!
It's been so long I'd lost the answer... After tearing it apart and rebuilding it though, I guess the answer must have been LASSEMISTA, who was a Rowan tree of Fangorn, cut down by the Orcs of Isengard.

As for your's Perwing, I thought I'd got it with Thangorodrim, but the letters didn't quite fit.

Well, it could be either DRAGONTHORN or THORNDRAGON; however, I don't know where either of those appear in the stories.

So I guess I will settle on NARGOTHROND.

Try: HASTFRUGHTION

You got it ElberethGilthoniel and I have the answer to yours; however in the sense of fairness I will give the others 24 hours to work it out for themselves. Happy Elf Smilie

Still, according to our previous examples, a multi-word puzzle has had each word anagramed with a space separating the words; however, as you have mixed all the letters together you might have separated the words with slashes or said "three words". Elf Winking Smilie

WINHRIMA = MARHWINI

According to Unfinished Tales:
Quote:
Marhwini = 'Horse-friend', leader of the Northmen (’oth’od) who settled in the Vale of Anduin after the Battle of the Plains, and an ally of Gondor against the Wainriders.
His name does sounds like a horse call at that. He was the son of Marhari and was active in the late 19th century of the third age. He preceeded Eorl by about 600 years.




Try -------> DONPULMRUGLIF <------



(I also got confused and tried to do this word in the Wheel of Tolkien Thread.)

It is a one word nickname found in the index (probably only used behind-the-back) of a prominent hobbit; however, when we hear the nickname's source in Bree, it was from the combination of a particular adjective and noun. Teacher Smilie

Just knowing the second was Z was enough to find it; "Mounds" varified it.

Ezellohar - The Green Mound of the Two Trees of Valinor, also called Corollair’.


Try ----> A S H R O M / C A T / W H E T

Jumble all the letters together to make three words of six, three, and four letters as separated by the two slashes.

I like it! I wish I had figured out and used that for my clue when I was anagraming Tolkien's words.

Oh yeah, that is another rule, the words must be Tolkien related and I don't remember Tolkien saying anything about Bombadil being in a car washing game; I think that was more in Goldberry's line of work.
