Companions of Xanth Hints
What's the trick to Com-Pewter's game?
1 of 7: He'll give you a series of word puzzles. You don't need to know anything about Xanth -- all of the answers should be at hand.
2 of 7: Read the Com-Pendium for big hints.
3 of 7: You need to take the word that he gives you, add one of the available letters, so that you can form the answer to the question by rearranging the letters that you have.
4 of 7: For example, the word you need to answer to the first question is "spears". Add an "S" to "reaps" and rearrange.
5 of 7: So just pick up the "S" tile, put it in the cylinder, and close the door. That's all there is to it.
6 of 7: The next four answers are "D", "P", "E", and "A".
7 of 7: Then the next four are "O", "B", "F", and "E".
