I am into Mephisto, which will teach your more about words than you ever want to know:

If you take the last B off zebub, you get zebu, an Ethiopian fly.
Mahwa, an alcoholic drink, is a wham upside down.
Laager, a South African camp, is regal upside-down with an A inserted.
Pride of place is an anagram of a crippled foe.
Tsuba, an ornamental plate on a samurai sword, is a bust backwards.
Ignorance is an anagram of one caring.

Now that’s mental agility! Not to mention a lot of searching the dictionary.

Yikes! That looks really tough! Do you play against others? Are the games timed?

You need Mephisto remedial training after stating this, bro:

“Mahwa, an alcoholic drink, is a wham upside down.”

Backwards, okay. Upside down, not okay. 🤣

I don't know about an Ethiopian fly, but a zebu is a breed of cattle with a large hump.
