Who Wants to Get Things Started?

Q:


This week we have multiple challenges.


Take the phrase
Native Beagle Cheered

First challenge -  how many four letter animal names can you come up with?  I came up with fourteen singular animal names, six of which have a homophone.

Second challenge - take one of the more common animals and add a consonant.  The five letters can now be rearranged twice to make a pair of homophones.  What are they?

Third challenge - using the letters of  Native Beagle Cheered only once, come up with four common phrases that begin with one of the above homophones.

Good luck!!
