2 Not quite an anagram then only 1s in answer

[fiction-factory]

I couldn't quite get the anagram for 2 Mamyalynne- maybe clue said TREE not TREES?

[Mamyalynne]

ignore me then, didn't spot that

[Captain2]

Yes, think it should be TREE (there are 15 letters in the 'anagram' words)

[cashier]

Mamyalynne, I think you are right it is the anagram that is wrong.

[Mamyalynne]

Gotcha, a slight error then.
